Congratulations to Partner Taysha Carmody, a victory on a Motion for Summary Final Order

Congratulations to Partner Taysha Carmody, who once again secured a victory on a Motion for Summary Final Order. This is the second time she’s prevailed on similar grounds in recent months!

This case involved a situation where the Petition filed had requested a follow up medical appointment with the authorized provider. The appointment was timely provided yet the Petition remained pending despite several good faith efforts to secure a dismissal. The Motion for Summary Final Order is a handy tool when there is no issue of material fact regarding a pending issue and it can be employed when the benefit sought has been provided. In this case, the claimant did not respond to the motion and the Judge ruled in the Employer/Carrier’s favor, dismissing the Petition in its entirety, including fees and costs. The motion avoided additional litigation expenses, including preparing for and attending a state mediation.

Well done, Taysha!
