The Client:

A large metal processing plant and its insurer.

 

The Situation:

A metal processing plant worker asserted lung cancer due to nickel dust exposure.

 

The Chartwell Solution:

Chartwell filed the first Frye Motion ever in a Pennsylvana Workers' Compensation case and brought in a nationally recognized epidemiologist to prove that nickel dust doesn’t cause lung cancer. Even though claimant presented testimony from three different experts, his claim was denied and our client saved over $300,000.
