Attorney Romano Secures Six-Figure Victory for Workers’ Compensation Client

On November 18, 2024, Attorney Joe Romano secured a six-figure victory for his client from the Commonwealth Court. The Commonwealth Court reversed the Order of the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board, erroneously determining that the Petitioner was required to reimburse a DHS medical lien in excess of $150,000. The Commonwealth Court agreed with Attorney Romano’s arguments by determining that the Petitioner had no obligation to reimburse the DHS lien as the Petitioner had never received the necessary documentation required by the Workers’ Compensation Act. Keep an eye out for further analysis from Attorney Romano and Burns White as this published decision will have future implications on Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation.
