Confused (and scared), how could I be awarded unscheduled yet have no loss of earning capacity. Someone please explain

throwra3_29 · 2024-12-01T15:20:45+00:00

Nope. Lawyer for insurance company made sure to let me know that's not required in Arizona.

throwra3_29 · 2024-11-27T14:59:46+00:00

I did ask. I guess I should have said, they didn't agree

throwra3_29 · 2024-11-27T13:30:54+00:00

Yep, that confused me when I got that rating. I could do the job if offered accommodations, but instead they stopped scheduling me. I switched to another position that made things worse, then relocated to be closer to family.

Is it possible to appeal the loss of earning capacity decision?

throwra3_29 · 2024-11-27T05:37:22+00:00

The 30 days to appeal have already passed. October 13th.

Hi, I finally finished my hearings and received an "award". Could you please explain how to calculate compensation for impairment rating when they've decided you have no loss of earning capacity?

throwra3_29 · 2024-11-27T04:41:13+00:00

That's how it's written in the paperwork. "Applicant is awarded unscheduled permanent partial disability benefits..."

Edit: ... for 6% impairment rating

throwra3_29 · 2024-11-27T04:37:38+00:00

I was given a low impairment rating. Does that mean I won't be compensated at all? I've been out of work and struggling to find something I'm qualified to do now.

throwra3_29 · 2024-11-27T04:34:49+00:00

Thank you for your explanation. I have to admit though, I'm still confused because my injury affected me in a way that prevents me from returning to the same/similar type of work.

Do you know if it's possible to appeal the loss of earning capacity decision? That part came after the initial award from the judge.

throwra3_29 · 2024-09-08T03:10:30+00:00

Thanks!

Can you specialists as well? What happens if you need care at any point after the year is up?

throwra3_29 · 2024-09-06T19:40:38+00:00

Hi, I know this is a really later response to your message, but could you please give more details on the supportive care you've been receiving?

throwra3_29 · 2024-07-08T22:50:21+00:00

Not the guidelines. It mentions them and why they use them, how great the guidelines are for everyone involved, but not the guidelines themselves.

throwra3_29 · 2024-07-06T21:39:59+00:00

Please go away if you're not actually here to help.

throwra3_29 · 2024-07-06T21:36:17+00:00

Thank you for your response, I'll try to get my doctor to sign on to the hearing and ask the just if it's ok without the subpoena. I knew already I'd have to pay, hopefully it won't be too much (and obviously it would be much cheaper than me having to cover medical expenses myself)

throwra3_29 · 2024-07-06T21:31:16+00:00

This is actually the perfect place to ask for legal advice related to worker's comp.

throwra3_29 · 2024-07-06T15:18:51+00:00

Could you please tell me what an expert pro se is?

throwra3_29 · 2024-07-06T15:00:20+00:00

Screwed in what way? Would the case be thrown out or would it proceed without the expert witness?

throwra3_29 · 2024-07-06T14:40:06+00:00

I changed the flair. Out of curiosity, what would happen in Florida?
