Michael Williamson was driving a gasoline tanker truck when he died on April 23, 2003, after a truck driven by Arthur Asher crossed into oncoming traffic on an Illinois highway. The two vehicles collided, and\u00a0b<\/span>oth men died as a result of the crash.\u00a0<\/span>The truck company that owned the Williamson truck paid workers\u2019 compensation benefits to Williamson\u2019s widow, Mary Catherine Williamson, in the amount of $283,549.80.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

In the meantime, the Williamson family brought a lawsuit against several defendants for the wrongful death of Michael.\u00a0<\/span>After a jury verdict was reduced, a recovery of $1 million plus 9% interest from State Farm Insurance \u00a0was made.\u00a0<\/span>The total amount received was $1,503,506.85. It took six years to receive the funds.<\/p>\n

The employer for Williamson then petitioned the court to seek not only its workers\u2019 compensation lien of $283,549.80 less 25% for attorney fees and the prorated share of the costs, but also wanted interest that the Williamson family had received at 9% on the judgment.Interest on the jury verdict was $503,506.85.The trial judge denied the employer\u2019s petition for interest on its workers\u2019 compensation lien.<\/p>\n
