William L. Phalen Finds Justice For Injured Worker Suffering From The Opinion of Multiple Doctors

William L. Phalen recently fought for and succeed in securing the rights of yet another injured worker. This worker suffered from a left shoulder injury by repetitive trauma. The respondent in the case argued that the injured worker failed to prove he sustained personal injury by repetitive trauma arising out of and in the course of his employment.

This forced the court to ask: Did the claimant in this case sustain personal injury by repetitive trauma arising out of and in the course of his employment; specifically, was his work activity the prevailing factor causing his left shoulder injury and need for medical treatment?

Thanks to the diligent work of the Law Office of William L. Phalen, the resounding answer was yes. The arthritis, bursitis and tendonitis plaguing the worker were ruled to have been caused by repetitive trauma  arising out of and in the course of his employment. 

After four physicians rendered opinions on the prevailing factor causing the injury, the respondent fought to deny the injured worker’s claim and failed in their efforts. William L. Phalen has spent his career fighting against these types of injustices and rallying for the rights of injured workers.
