WoW! What a great team you two are with your dynamic personalities which compliment each other in a lively presentation with serious content Love Carmen's tenacious curiosity and intelligent inquiry. And really appreciate the confident demeanor of Bilal who speaks with the voice of authority from experiences of hard work in the trenches, in a manner of speaking. I will review all of your video library.. Thank you for valuable time
I injured my back about 7 years ago and still have an open workers comp claim and my doctor recommended spinal fusion but the medical center I was using closed when I went to a different doctor he recommended RF ablation but still in pain and missing time from work and using sick days during time off. I am not covered for lost wages now and was told if the claim is closed by the insurance company there would be no options for future medical coverage or lost wages and if I am unable to work to apply for social security disability and Medicare to cover any treatments. Everyone that I talk to that has been injured at work tell me that they had large settlements that paid for medical expenses but lawyers claim that Massachusetts does not allow any type of settlements but do not explain why or what my options are after workers compensation decides that I have reached MMI.
When does the arbitrator or judge step in? How can insurance deny treatment for four years and get away with that. Won’t a judge ultimately award or deny?
It depends. There can be a variety or reasons why you would go to court over issues in a workers comp case. Unlike civil cases where there is typically one trial, you can have multiple trials over multiple issues in any given case. Typically medical authorization and benefits are the reason we go to court, outside of when the case is ending. This is done by filing something called a Declaration of Readiness to Proceed ("DOR"). Unfortunately the system is totally unfair for injured workers, so a lot of time its just how it is and we try to make the best of the worst situation.
Suggestion, you were talking about Injured workers being starved for money during the process, Milage reimbursement and Parking as well as paying for QME visits/miles/parking.
I have hardware in my left elbow. Plate and 10 screws the doctor said I would probably need hardware removal in the future. Would workers comp have to pay for that future hardware removal? Thank you
I am here and its complete bullshit and unfair. I had a 16 ton radial stacker fall on me in 1993, cutting both hands off, broke my back, crushed my pelvis, broke my hip and have nerve damage from it all. I am PTD and because of a roll over accident, WCF now believes they are no longer responsible for medical, even though I settled with WCF for medical for life. Because my accident is 30 years old and the original medical documents only go back 22 years and now I am having troubles proving the medical. For years they paid for injections, back surgeries, medications and now they just deny, deny deny!! Is it worth it, I will have at least 5 major surgeries next year. Its a horrible system and something needs to be done about it!!
Holy Moly! Those were some injuries. We are sorry about your accident. Unfortunately we see this way too often. With time the insurance companies feel as if they no longer need to pay and start looking for holes in the system so they can try to use them and not have to pay. We do wish you the best outcome and hope you are well represented. If anything please call us, even if it's just to hear you out and let out those questions you might have 800 606 6999.
Hello good evening I’m in a bad situation very difficult. I had a traumatic brain injury. I had a mild conclusion I was a healthcare worker and the owner bring a wall unit in the patient’s house and it slammed in my head. I had two sets of lawyers they were not good. I am not getting no benefits for my traumatic brain injury. I was just awarded loss wages one check that was in May 2023. I still see neurologist every three months so it’s been four years now. What do I do? my accident was May 20, 2020. I need a good lawyer to represent me because he’s lawyers are very tricky.

Suggestion, you were talking about Injured workers being starved for money during the process, Milage reimbursement and Parking as well as paying for QME visits/miles/parking.

Can you settle and use your spouse work insurance pay for your treatment?
I have hardware in my left elbow.
Plate and 10 screws the doctor said I would probably need hardware removal in the future.
Would workers comp have to pay for that future hardware removal?
Thank you
If you have future medical stipulations, then yes.

Looking good you guys!! hope all is well!
That’s why you need a Medicare Set Aside. You can’t trust the insurance companies. They’re gonna jerk you eventually 😢
Right now I’m receiving Social Security disability for my traumatic brain injury
Yikes, wishing you best of luck!
Sounds too familiar ... I have been there with that person. 2-3 years of back and forth back and forth...
