Attorneys for a 49-year-old Wethersfield man who suffered herniated discs and serious back injuries following a November 2013 car crash have settled his workers’ compensation claim for $400,000. That brings the total settlement compensation for Christopher Bachteler to $850,000.

Bachteler, who was working for Andover-based Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in a company car at the time of accident, recently received his check, according to Manny Cicchiello, his Hartford-based attorney. The workers’ compensation claim was mediated June 4 with Workers’ Compensation Commissioner Daniel Dilzer, who recommended settling for $450,000. At mediation, Cicchiello said he had demanded $750,000, while the attorneys for Acadia, the employer’s workers’ compensation carrier, offered $150,000. Andrew Orvis was the driver of the vehicle that struck Bachteler’s vehicle. The two sides agreed on the $400,000 figure on July 20.
