Our client was crushed between a metal bin and guard rail when a loader ran into the bin. He suffered serious physical injuries which were recognized by the Board, however he was only granted a 5% pension for the serious psychological conditions he developed, including PTSD and major depressive disorder. In a successful appeal, WCAT increased the psychological pension award to 15%, resulting in retroactive compensation of over $150,000 to our client.
