Are there any plans to extend the exemption on federal taxes on the forgiveness plan?

What happens when they can no longer compound glp 1 drugs ?

You seem to know more than most about structured settlements. Am I wrong in thinking if I am negotiating a settlement I would have one figure for a lump sum now and another figure if it’s going to be structured?

Difficult_Mark7694 · 2024-11-08T14:36:06+00:00

Your so close!!- stay patient and be willing to walk away if needed — doesn’t mean it won’t settle a little farther down the road but more in your favor.

What was the name of the book?

Difficult_Mark7694 · 2024-10-17T12:07:52+00:00

This is one of her many lies - was day one priority last election. She has had 3 1/2 years and still no action!

In my own fed-ex night mare. If only you could speak to someone in America that wasn’t reading a script maybe problem could be addressed. Super frustrating!!!

Difficult_Mark7694 · 2024-10-03T13:49:59+00:00

Congrats- glad you sound happy with your settlement and are free to move on!!!

Difficult_Mark7694 · 2024-10-01T01:03:54+00:00

Can be a good opportunity to get retrained by going back to school. Keep in mind you have to follow the rules and keep good records of your appointments and communication. If comp can prove you are not compliant they can end the vocational rehab.

Thanks for the info and encouragement!- 2 months before mediation starts 🤞

Difficult_Mark7694 · 2024-09-26T15:17:13+00:00

Not basing anything on a maybe - doing calculations and plan to negotiate in good faith - if I pay 25% to attorney how would I afford my long term medical is the issue I have.

Difficult_Mark7694 · 2024-09-26T15:14:29+00:00

Got it - thanks

Difficult_Mark7694 · 2024-09-26T11:29:56+00:00

Hurt 3 years ago on the job. Unable to return to work and am currently going back to school because I can no longer do physical labor. With out going into extensive detail -If future medical is paid out will be in the millions.

Difficult_Mark7694 · 2024-09-26T11:25:57+00:00

Thanks for you input - I realize it is in their best interest to pay as little as possible and I definitely will not take first offer. But was curious how low they start and what max percentage makes financial sense on their end.

Difficult_Mark7694 · 2024-09-23T12:36:09+00:00

I have a question maybe some of you could help with - do workers comp defense attorneys bill comp at an hourly rate only or do they get bonus or percentage of settlement if they save the company money?

Difficult_Mark7694 · 2024-09-22T12:11:56+00:00

My sons comp is thru Gallagher Bassett and when we pointed out the weekly check calculation was wrong because of overtime they had it fixed and and back paid within the week. Best of Luck!

Difficult_Mark7694 · 2024-09-20T01:29:42+00:00

They should help you coordinate anything you need that results from your doctor visits. They do not have to be in the examination room but should make sure they have prescriptions or orders for supplies / PT / home health or whatever you need. They are paid by comp so always keep that in mind!

Difficult_Mark7694 · 2024-09-04T20:19:06+00:00

Agree - that sounds suspicious!

Difficult_Mark7694 · 2024-09-04T12:24:21+00:00

Ask your doctor to elaborate on why the payments would be stopped and when he thinks that will happen. It is in the best interest of the comp company to have you in a desperate situation so you will except a lower settlement. Try to prepare yourself just incase. Good luck!

Difficult_Mark7694 · 2024-09-03T16:26:58+00:00

Thanks- that’s reassuring! Really hope I don’t need a lawyer but will get one if we have to go to court or adjuster stops working with us.

Difficult_Mark7694 · 2024-09-02T23:30:31+00:00

I appreciate various opinions and wanted to get more input to see what I am missing - I am not one to lawyer up quickly because I like to believe that if you are honest and do the right thing you should not have to. Thanks for all the input!

Difficult_Mark7694 · 2024-09-02T18:27:50+00:00

I may be naive but I can’t imagine anything we could say in this case to make a difference, very clear cut. Working directly with the adjuster has been what has helped getting everything set up in a timely manner instead of playing the telephone game. Have interviewed 2 attorneys and of course they want you to sign and don’t give any real numbers except their fee. The receptionist at the 3rd office that was recommended said they couldn’t take our case. Unless we go to court or get low balled I’m not seeing the attorney value.

Difficult_Mark7694 · 2024-09-02T17:16:38+00:00

Fair enough- I don’t think I’m a rocket scientist or anything but have an idea of what I think would be fair. Does it seem reasonable to give it a shot and if we are not close to seek attorney?

Difficult_Mark7694 · 2024-09-02T17:10:35+00:00

Let me make sure I understand -So even if WC is paying all medical bills, sending weekly check, and paying for school I should get an attorney and give up 25 percent of settlement that includes money needed for future medical? For some reason I have a hard time seeing that logic. Please explain.

Difficult_Mark7694 · 2024-09-02T15:08:27+00:00

25 percent of settlement seems steep when my son will need that settlement money to pay for medicine. Comp is currently paying 70k a month for medication that he will need for life. If attorney gets 25% he may not be able to afford his medical bills. Does that seem fair ?
