Workmans comp. taking to court to hold medical sympathetic. Is this the process to dance or filch a brass settlement lone?
Want to keep medical amenable but have hear that they will always say-so it is a new injury and workmans comp. won't payment it anyway. We will get a brass settlement too, but going this route takes closely longer than just taking a dosh settlement only. Have tried to carry information from lawyers and doctors and they don't make a contribution much advise. Has anyone gone throught this previously and can say what is the best passageway to go?
Answers:
Comp law vary from state to state. So we don't know what state you're contained by . . . so we can't give you ANY solid direction. Your ATTORNEY should be able to answer a central question, similar to, 'can we keep the medical open'.
They do NOT other say it's a modern injury - most of the time that counts against the employer, if it's a new injury, AND the insurance company. So there's no incentive to vote it's a new one. But yes, a contemporary injury can aggravate an old one. Some states will allow you to assign an aggravated injury to the aged claim, some mandate that it's a new claim. YOUR LAWYER should know how to tell you how it works contained by your state. For 30% of the settlement, which he's taking, he should give you a straight answer.
