Re: Incremental work performed while collecting comp
If you have been on TTD since 1999 and do not have representation, you need to obtain representation immediately. When you are deemed permanent and stationary it is critical to your final award to have your work restrictions opined by a doctor who is applicant oriented, and not one on your employer's insurance company payroll. The worker's compensation system is very adversial. The insuarance companies will get away with anything they can. They will pay you the minimum on your claim unless you obtain representation to protect your interests. The worker's compensation insurance companies have attorneys, why don't you??
