BACK
LUMBAR SPINE

I had a discectomy, was placed on permanent medium duty work restrictions, and could not return to my pre-injury job. I was out of work for 3 years, my bills piled up, and I ended up losing my house. I found Gerald Lutkenhaus on the internet. He represented me in my Virginia workers’ compensation case and got me a settlement of $105,700.

He took it to the Commission and just before the hearing we had a mediation and worked out a good settlement of my case.

BRAIN
CONCUSSION
HEAD
HEADACHES

The insurer agreed to cover the back injury but disputed the head injury on the grounds the doctors did not support it until a week after the accident. I chose Attorney Lutkenhaus based off of the prior client testimonials I read on the internet, and I was also impressed with his Avvo lawyer rating. I got a favorable settlement due to the hard work of Mr. Lutkenhaus and his paralegal Rose. They are both experienced and knowledgeable. My wife and I were very pleased with their representation and professionalism. Keep up the great work!

P.C. Jones — I had a head injury at work 10 years ago. I picked Attorney Lutkenhaus out of the Yellow Pages for his many years of experience in Virginia Workers’ Compensation law. My Temporary Total compensation expired because Virginia only pays a maximum of 500 weeks.
