Great info guys. Thank you. That bit about a 70 pound lifting restriction at a desk job...good grief...sometimes reality and the law don't mesh.

[@joelwilliams609]

Thank you Bert! Very good info.

[@juanitagonzalez8333]

I wish i woul have know about you guys 10 months ago because i hired some clowns that are nothing but liars we had mediation today & i did not want to settle because of their ongoing lies if you will .i decided i want to take it to court.prwying for the best outcome.

[@WILLIAMSELLEBY]

Good luck with your trial. Best wishes for a favorable outcome!

I agreed to a settlement number on Aug 16. I’m still waiting for my documents to be sent over so I can sign them. I have still been getting paid weekly from my job. Do you know how long it takes for me to receive the documents so I can sign them? Going on 4/5 weeks now.

[@WILLIAMSELLEBY]

30-45 days is pretty common but it can vary according to the complexity of your claim

[@702TifosiGambler]

What about payments for trauma?

[@WILLIAMSELLEBY]

If this is worker's compensation question, we recommend that you call Bert directly. His number is [phone]. If it is a third party liability claim (not against your employer), shock and trauma is usually included in the pain and suffering award.

[@lanesh7245]

In the state of Georgia, will my employer request me to resign before they settle the case ?

[@WILLIAMSELLEBY]

That is most often the case but there could be exceptions. Our guest in this video, Bert Hummel, would be the best person to contact regarding the specifics of your scenario. He can be reached at [phone].
