IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
TEXARKANA DIVISION
JOHN WEED and DAWN WEED
vs.
PLAINTIFFS
Cause No. 10-CV-4062
DOMTAR A.W., LLC
DEFENDANT
AGREED ORDER
Come now Plaintiffs, Defendant and North American Rail Services and its insurer and
request that this court enter the following agreed order:
1. Plaintiff John Weed (hereinafter plaintiff) was injured on April 15, 2010. He
sustained severe injuries including a right lower leg amputation, injuries to the left leg, and
several fractures of the spine, ribs, and clavicle.
2. A claim for workers compensation benefits was accepted as compensable by his
employer North American Rail Services and its insurer (hereinafter collectively referred to as
NARS) and the Plaintiff received and is currently receiving workers compensation benefits for
indemnity and medical treatments.
3. Plaintiff has settled a third party liability claim and contends that he was not made
whole. NARS has asserted a lien in the amount of $313,645.00 dollars. Plaintiffs, Defendant
and NARS agree that the settlement did not make Plaintiff whole.
4. Plaintiff has agreed to pay NARS $5,000 dollars from the third party settlement in lieu
of a hearing on the issue of whether he was made whole or not. This is a total compromise of any
subrogation lien or claim whatsoever by NARS against the third party settlement, plaintiffs,
defendant, their attorneys, heirs or assigns.
5. Plaintiff is still eligible for continuing workers compensation benefits and this agreed
order does not preclude the claimant from asserting his entitlement to all future workers
compensation benefits regarding this injury. This includes but is not limited to permanent total
disability and all future medical benefits.
6. All issues not addressed herein are specifically reserved.
Wherefore, the Plaintiffs, Defendant and NARS are requesting that this court enter this
order whereby the claimant will pay NARS $5,000 dollars in full satisfaction of any subrogation
lien. The parties acknowledge that this order does not affect any claim for future workers
compensation benefits of any sort in any way. Upon execution of this order Plaintiff agrees to pay
$5,000 dollars to NARS.
It is so ordered this 25th day of August, 2011.
