Your current state is Virginia
How do I go about getting my restrictions changed by an AME now that I have completed my therapy and him requesting me to return after the therapy and medical test were completed.
This is a question you need to speak to your workers compensation attorney about. If you do not have a workers compensation attorney, you need to get one. You need an advocate that will fight to get you all of the benefits you are entitled to receive and if you are trying to do this yourself... Read more »
I have an Attorney , I question his statements Seriously injured in 2017 . First QME report would give me lifetime disability benefits , insurance company sits on report for a year. I go back to same QME one year later , my condition worsening . 2nd report in July 2020 now gives me a rating of... Read more »
MAYBE. If there is any NEW evidence the evaluating physician would need to see to render an accurate opinion, then you have to pick a new QME. IF a Party said they planned to depose the QME when they had the records collected and they proceeded reasonably (they didn't wait 3 years before... Read more »
QME doctor issues 17% in Jan 2021. Claims admin objects to the medical determination, report, conclusions regarding causation, apportionment, disability, impairment, work restrictions and treatment. They want a supplemental report, PQME Cross-examination and to obtain additional records, etc.... Read more »
Your options are to file / serve DOR for a trial immediately. Defense has had the QME report for more than a month, it should have obtained these records BEFORE the QME saw you, and the QMEs deposition should have beend scheduled already. YOu are ready for trial for a decision on the jan. 2021... Read more »

This is a classic Workers Compensation claim. to 'move forward', you get a REAL ortho surgeon from the comp insurer's approved list, do NOT let the comp insurance adjuster or the boss pick your treating physicians or you won't be happy. But you need the list of approved... Read more »
Why won't a lawyer in ND represent me in front of a law judge. Because injured workers in North Dakota get nothing. Thank you
This is something on which a North Dakota attorney attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. For insurance matters, most every state has a department of insurance. Situated in Bismarck, there is the North Dakota Insurance Department. Good luck

I am putting together a S.O.P for our company about calling off the staff due to light work load, how far in advance do I need to let them know?
The only law that speaks to your issue is the Reporting Time Pay law that says you have to pay part of the cancelled shift if you send an employee home once they arrive at the workplace for a scheduled shift. See here for more on that law: https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/faq_reportingtimepay.htm... Read more »
We have an order from a judge and still nothing for P&I which is over 4k (worth going after).
I don't see a question there, but Nancy Wallace can probably help you out in CA https://lawyers.justia.com/lawyer/nancy-j-wallace-1486668
Question had little room to give exclamation. But what I mean is for name sake let’s say Donna works a job. Donnas boss Scott (again for name sake not a real name) gives her three options. Let’s say Donna is retirement aged. So Scott says to make a long conversation short. Donna you can resign,... Read more »
Generally speaking, in order to prove she was unlawfully terminated in your scenario, Donna would need to prove (among other things), that she suffered an adverse job action. Donna could claim she was constructively discharged if she was forced to resign or retire, in lieu of termination to meet... Read more »
I don't remember signing anything to the Third Party Administrator to share my Work Comp provider's medical record (for me) with their outside attorney. I stopped the arbitration process. It wasn't working. This attorney is an outside attorney only. Now the the... Read more »
A Tennessee attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. In terms of GENERAL insurance doctrine, regardless of the type of insurance, carriers or their TPAs can delegate defense matters to counsel of their choosing, inhouse or outside. But that is only a general insurance... Read more »
I made the error of writing mediation instead of Conciliation and also it was the insurer's representative not showing. Thank you for your quick response Laura Kiley, I appreciate it
Are you sure it was the Employer who hasn't shown, or was it the insurer's representative? Was it for a mediation or a conciliation? Mediations are voluntary when it comes to workers compensation so there isn't anything that would require them to attend a mediation. If it was the... Read more »
How can she protect herself and her co-workers and does she have a legal case?
Interesting scenario! If your fried becomes sick (only if she becomes sick), she would probably have a cause of action under the workers' comp act. Many states now have a presumption for COVID, which makes it work related and compensable. However, based on the fact that the boss was aware of... Read more »
You should consult with a local workers comp attorney. Most will offer a free consultation regarding your options moving forward.
Yes, but you should consult with a local workers comp attorney. Most will offer a free consultation regarding your options moving forward.
My husband was hurt on October 7th at work
He was released January 14th mmi. We wanted to ask workers comp about a settlement but we're not sure we should
Whatever you do, do not engage in settlement negotiations with an insurance adjuster until you have an attorney representing you. The insurance company will not take you seriously without representation.
Under Arizona law, employers with one or more full-time or part-time employees must secure workers’ compensation insurance. An LLC can choose whether to cover a Member or not.
I understand there are two ways, please confirm:
1. Keep company ownership as is (100% owned by my wife) and obtain NJ approval for self insurance. How can I do it? any form to fill? submit to where?
2. Transfer 100% company ownership from to me (as I am the only one who does work... Read more »

I'm sorry about your injury. An experienced workers' comp attorney should answer your question, but it remains open for five weeks. As a GENERAL doctrine of insurance law in virtually any setting, insurance carriers generally have the right to request prior medical/accident records that... Read more »
We are family consulting microbusiness, owned by my wife (she does not do work in this business). I feel Workers Compensation Insurance is useless for us, but dont want to pay fine for not having it.
Thank you

You may still be required to carry workers comp insurance. Check with the NJ Dept. of Labor and Workforce Development based on what type of work entity you have created.
