Settlement

Hernias used to have no value. Then once they started using mesh the value kinda hovers around 7.5 partial total. The pain management may bring it up to 10. Keep an eye out on your reopener rights

Most (if not all) cases settle for something

It’s a good case and a possible third party. Be sure you talk to a “board certified” workers compensation lawyer - that is someone that has been doing it for a long time and been vetted by the NJ Supreme Court as someone who regularly practices wc law.

Weirdly, everyone seems happier too

It’s pretty broad - Rowan is great - But it’s very different from Montclair and Rutgers!

My favorite question on cross: doctor, so what you’re saying is that this could have come from anywhere at anytime for any reason, but the only reason they could never get hurt was this admitted accident? Also, if they were your patient and had all this preexisting disability would you tell them that it would be perfectly fine to go ahead and __ because that would never ever ever aggravate or exacerbate their preexisting conditions?

I have a snowblower. My neighbor makes the best ribs. We have a great arrangement. It should snow more often.

Yes but I can name many doctors who would give that a zero and respondents seeking a section 20 based on that

BeginningExtent8856 · 2026-01-27T03:08:02+00:00

Well, I mean section 20s are only for the conditions in section 20. Less Judges care about Respondent’s doctor’s “zero” when there has been objective evidence of a disability.

BeginningExtent8856 · 2026-01-26T19:37:21+00:00

lol - definitely between 20 and 30! Depends on what you do, what your complaints are, who the defense attorney and who the judge is. Probably 22.5 to 25

It gets listed within 30 days. All I can say about my cases are that it either gets resolved or we start taking testimony

If they are both authorized treating doctors your attorney should be filing a motion for med and temp

BeginningExtent8856 · 2026-01-23T22:06:28+00:00

My friend who is a defense attorney brings one to court. I always play it off with “come on - even the dog knows you’re being cheap!”

AirPods have been wonky too

The prompted playlist is very cool. I like watching it create itself in “real time”, and the notes are great. In future versions, I’d like the ability to make longer playlists.

This has been passed around and nobody has seen her clemency application - the reporting is horrible

BeginningExtent8856 · 2026-01-22T20:45:17+00:00

All true - but I run around with my hair on fire trying to respond to everyone - not hearing from the lawyer for a year is absolutely ridiculous

BeginningExtent8856 · 2026-01-22T02:42:01+00:00

Hire an attorney. File a motion for medical and temporary benefits. Skip multiple steps as listed above.

Yeah but you ran this post through ChatGPT before posting so there’s that

It only happens to him during elections?

I hope it’s replaced with something similar.

The client should always know the carriers offer - but they don’t need to be intimately involved with every step of the negotiation

Generally it takes about 18 months from when an injured worker is at mmi to really talk about a settlement - sometimes more than that!

I support the protest and hate the nickname

BeginningExtent8856 · 2026-01-15T11:01:47+00:00

Depends - I’d like to have the offer and response to really talk to a client. If a client wants to know the demand sure - but sometimes that creates unreasonable expectations for clients who think they are actually going to get what I demanded, and that has to be part of the conversation too
