McConnaughhay Coonrod Partner Tracey Hyde was successful in defending the Statute of Limitation of as claim for benefits

McConnaughhay, Coonrod, Weaver & Stern, P.A. Partner Tracey Hyde was successful in defending the Statute of Limitation of as claim for benefits. Here’s a brief overview of the case:

Claimant requested a return visit with his authorized physician, and the appointment was set before the Petition was filed. After the Petition was filed, the Employer/Carrier requested a dismissal since the benefit had been provided, but Claimant did not dismiss. Claimant proceeded to no-show to the appointment. As the benefit had been provided, the Employer/Carrier moved for summary final order. While Claimant’s counsel said he objected to the Motion after he was sent a draft, Claimant’s counsel never filed a response. The Petition was dismissed with prejudice, so it is as if the Petition was never filed. This lead to the statute of limitations running retroactively.

Well done, Tracey!
