Claimant’s Yellow Freight motion denied.

We successfully defended a late answer against a claimant’s Yellow Freight motion by convincing the judge that the claimant’s claim petition was not well-pled and did not meet the claimant’s burden of proof with respect to disability. The claim petition alleged that the claimant did not return to work for the employer and sought payment of ongoing disability. In defense of the motion, we submitted evidence showing that the claimant returned to work for the employer within days of the alleged work injury, arguing that the claimant was not disabled as alleged. Accordingly, the judge was convinced that, although the employer’s answer was late, the claim petition was not well-pled and the Yellow Freight motion was denied.
