Hey, Bad Boy and others...Utica-Mohawk Agreement!

[Wink]

Bad Boy,
I am finally at this stage of settlement now (see below). I left my Lifetime Future Medical open for the present time. You may find the Utica-Mohawk Agreement (below) interesting for your info. I made CERTAIN that it was included in my agreement in order to duly maximize my future SSDI monthly payments. NOW...it is time for me to file for SSDI! In my case, I'm happy that I waited to file. Doing it my way made things much, much less complicated and error-free for all concerned.

---------------

Claimant requests the Commission approves the allocation of the proposed settlement as follows:

1. $XX,XXX.XX as attorney fees and $X,XXX.XX as costs; a total of $XX,XXX.XX.
2. $XXX,XXX.XX in compromise settlement of disputed past and future compensation benefits at the rate of $XX.XX per week for a period of 1,470.51 weeks (claimant's life expectancy), commencing October 11, 2007 as interpreted by the South Carolina Supreme Court in the decision of Orr v. Utica-Mohawk Mills, 227 SC 226, 87 SE 2d 589 (1955).
3. It is not the intention of the employers/carrier or Claimant to shift responsibility for paying future medical expenses related to this claim to the Federal government. As an integral part of this agreement defendants agree claimant is entitled to causally related medical care which would tend to lessen claimant’s disability.

I hereby approve the allocation of settlement proceeds set forth above and hereby order that this allocation be followed.
