time to settle

i have a comp case in the state of pa and i have been collecting max ben. for almost two years.my att. says that they will want to settle soon as they do not want to pay max ben.anymore.?i made over 50,000 that year and still lost out on two months pay(around 12,000)more so it would put me up to aprox.62,000.my att says he thinks 2 years ben is a fair price to settle on.1 year ben is only 36,000 so thats only 72,000 total for medical and cash.i will most likely have trouble with my injury in the future and have a doctors report to prove this thats why i won and still recive my ben.do you not think that two years of total wages should be a fair price that would be around120,000 alot more than the 72,000 he said.also how long do they have to pay if i dont settle.my job is no longer avail.and i have been released to work on light duty but my employer must find me a job as i moved to another state.this is another reason i won my case.very compl. case.

Workers Comp and vacation

I was injured at work. I am required to go the the company doctor and that is fine. What I am questioning is the company does not pay for time off for doctor visits or rehab if needed. I would have to take vacation time to go to the workers comp doctors. Is that right?

My work said if I did not feel well that I could either see my family dr. or they gave me a WC claim #. I went to see my dr on mon this accident occured on fri and my dr suggested I not return to work for 1 wk and have some xrays, which I did, and take some meds so I could sleep since my left side especially my back/hip area is hurting......I planned to return to work after 1 day and see how I felt....now my work is saying I have to see their wc doctor and get clearance to return to work. will I be paid for the time that they told me to stay home under wc, until I get the clearance.

credit for lost wages

I recently had my workers comp case reopened by my orthorpeadic doctor. I went to court and the judges awarded credit for 7.4

treated by my primary care doctor who refered to the orthorpeadic doctor.

Comp Nurse at Dr Appt.

Because I don't! I have nothing to hide.....just not sure what to expect.

How Long Can Workers Comp Payments Run?

I have been receiving workers comp for 3 yrs. I have had an atty since Jan 2007. He has been collecting 20% of each paycheck since then. He keeps telling me that he can't force the company to settle. But, how long do I have to go on paying him? It doesn't seem right that he continues to get paid for work that is not being done.

Workplace Injury

I was making a delivery to a hospital and was stabbed very deeply by an exposed needle. Was escorted to ER and test were performed.

Workman Comp

I have a question regarding work comp. I started a new job on in March. the job has me standing, walking and moving on concrete floors, and from building to building all day. Only sit down time is during the mandatory 15 minute breaks. Two weeks after I started this job I had horrible swelling in my foot, something I had never had before. I went to a podiatrist who told me I have to have surgery on the foot, as the standing, walking etc have aggravated a condition I have whick I never knew I had. The joint of my big toe is deteriorating and I will have to have surgery before the condition worsens. Delaying it would cause me to loose the entire joint. Can I file for workman comp as the job is what has cause this condition to become serious enough for surgery? I also found out that they will not hold my job! I will be unemployed and limited in what I can do from now on. Recovery will take anywhere from 8 weeks to 3 months before I can walk any length of time or wear a shoe!!

not enough money?

I was injured in Feb. 2000

I was awarded %100 disabled from

the judge. I'm unable to get retrained for a job and i understand the law to state anyone who is injured before 2004 and is retrained has to make the same amount as before injury. If i;m

unable to be retrained shouldn't i be getting paid the amount i was making at time of injury. I was making $550 a week my setlement is only $350 a week.
