I am enclosing a copy of my letter dated September 8, ;982 to our insured which explains our handling of th~s claim. Our initial evaluation of this case based upon evidence produced at the time the petition was served was $4,200. Over the course of legal discovery and medical documentation, the claim increased to one of potential permanent total disability and 30% permanent impairment of the spine. The indemnity portion of Mr. ~uchite's claim was settled on a full, final and complete basis, but the medical expense benefits were left open and a reserve of $19,000 remained to cover that expo:-x~re. II)is case was scheduled for hearing, but the compromise eettlement, which was approved by the Morkers '~ompensation Division, resulted in a dismissed hearing. ~. Howard, I hope that the attached copy and the information that I have pro- vSded will answer the quemtions that you may have on this case. Please be ~ssured that we have acted in accordance with the Workers Coupcnsation St~t~tes and in accoPda,ce with ethical claims practices.
