Ep 68 - Should You Accept a Workers' Comp Settlement Offer?

[@joselaguna5205]

Thank you for the wonderful videos GUYS.

[@william3329]

If both parties agreed to a settlement does it move forward to a judge or does it stay between both parties?

[@angelicagaray184]

Hi, if i deny my surgery,and stay on light duty does the company or workers comp reimburse me for my accident.? Or do I need a lawyer? Thank you guys

[@robertmiller1375]

How much is a whole leg

[@overrunwithboys216]

If an injured worker simply wants to keep medicals open , due to a pretty bad injury, a leg salvage situation, where unforseen things can happen in the future, will this surely equal going to trial? Can the injured worker EVER lose if thats all they are after, can Workmans comp MAKE you get a "Medicare Set Aside" ?

Thanks

[@samuellopez8618]

If I’m already receiving a stips settlement. Will a c&r be more

[@WorkCompTalkPodcast]

Not necessarily, remember the C & R is mean to be a lump sum for what they thing your medical will be worth. A Stip is they take care of you until the end.

[@robertmiller1375]

My first offer I’ll take it I’m broke lost one leg

[@joselaguna5205]

What happens When you see 2 QME the same week and first one says you are P&S and de second one says you are not MMI. ??

[@WorkCompTalkPodcast]

Hello Jose, a person's injury is not P&S/MMI until all parts of the injury have reached that status.

[@joselaguna5205]

@@WorkCompTalkPodcast thank you very much for responding God bless you 🙏

[@rosariorivera5305]

Wow all i hear is negative stuff if you want yo go yo trial. Like why ? Why can you say anything positive about it?

[@pefro]

Sorry that was not as informative as I thought it would be really good information for trial info though

[@dthor6922]

I would rather stand my ground n not fold because if you don't, everyone will walk all over you.

[@WorkCompTalkPodcast]

True, but sometimes at what cost does this standing your ground come with. It's a really hard thing to be in, wish you best of luck!

[@itiiyt]

Just found you today. Can you talk about Hernia work related injuries with 2 surgeries and a possible third in the future. DOI , 2001 Workers comp case with no Attorney still open.

[@WorkCompTalkPodcast]

Yikes, you've been handling this since 2001? May we ask why not get an attorney to get things moving for you? You'd get all the legal help so you can focus on getting your life back instead of dealing with the system. We're here to help, if you'd like 800 606 6999.

[@GvBillyGoat843]

Yeah you definitely need a lawyer
