"it's funny how treating doctors find it higher and carrier doctors find it a little lower... meaning work comp is cohoots with the doctors they assign so they'll have to pay less out
My ortho surgeon is very arrogant and a horrible listener, I fell at work in January 2024 and the medical folks misdiagnosed me, saying no fracture, after walking in my hip 4 months and pt the hip was destroyed ( u should had been non weight bearing) anyways I have a physical job and there is no way I can do the job, it he feels his work is so good all his patients can get back to work within 2 months ( I run a kitchen ) he is unapproachable, I fear getting re injured if I go back to soon, not sure what to do
Your rapport with your doctor is just as important as that with your lawyer. You should feel comfortable and confidant with both. Perhaps a chat with the doctor’s physician assistant or office manager might help. Good luck!
Great video. Have a question. If I’m out on Worker’s Comp due to an injured shoulder that needed surgery and I injured the opposite shoulder from overuse… Can that be a new Worker’s Comp claim? Thx
YES- this is a textbook "consequential injury." Have you discussed this with your lawyer and doctor? If you don't have a lawyer and need assistance, please feel free to call me at 212-406-8989.
I have been on workers comp for over a year. Just got a 7% impairment rating for cervical raduicpathy whole person impairment. What does that mean . I was told I can't do the work I do anymore which is maintenance technician. Because of my work restrictions. And all I got is a 7% doesn't seem fair considering I can't do the work I have always done. Not sure what to do my lawyer doesn't tell me anything can't even get her to return a text

Hello Rex, is there any relation between impairment rating and settlement? If I get high impairment rating mean I will have automatically high settlement amount ? Thanks
Yes! you must do so before the CAP weeks expire. If your level of disability is over 75% you must apply for hardship within the last year of the cap. Otherwise, if you injury has worsened you could potentially apply for reclassification. Good luck
They will likely consider the nature of the pre-existing condition and its impact on your overall level of disability. Its an apportionment issue, but your lawyer should be able to rebut it to some degree, depending on what your own doctor has to say.

There is a relationship but there are other factors such as work status and AWW that must also be considered.
🙏
Can i reapply permanent partial disability again once the weeks they give me for the rating is done and my injury is not healed?
Yes! you must do so before the CAP weeks expire. If your level of disability is over 75% you must apply for hardship within the last year of the cap. Otherwise, if you injury has worsened you could potentially apply for reclassification. Good luck
