Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

I saw you on Avvo.com and thought "no way any WCAB Judge would approve such a settlement".

Sounds like you should attempt to prove 100% permanent disability.

THAT will mean conference with a Vocational Expert (i only know So. Calif experts) and deliver the Vocational Expert's report to the reporting doctors with the question, is there really any employment this worker can consider, or is s/he effectively completely disabled?

OR...JUST DEMAND $232,000 FOR A compromise & release agreement, and accept $150,000 and find a business you can do at home on Amazon.

Or follow the Avvo attorney's recommendations, get a CERTIFIED SPECIALIST in comp (we pass an extra bar exam in just comp regulations) attorney and insist the attorney attempt to get you a 100% rating (will require he pay Voc Experts about $2000 and try to get reimbursed).

I respectfully disagree with Ms. Wallace. Do not demand $232,000.00 for a C&R unless you have an attorney evaluate your case. Your question does not discuss future medical, any home health care that might be required, or what you did for a living. There are many factors which are calculated into a C&R, and without knowing those factors, it would be unethical to throw numbers out there for resolution. However, Ms. Wallace did say she saw you on Awo.com, so I am not sure what other information she might have in order to arrive at the figures she mentioned in her answer..

You also mention that your Stip amount would be a net, less attorney's fees, which means that you might have counsel.

You can give me a call to discuss this matter if you wish. My telephone is 1.877.505.INJURY.

Have you spoken to your attorney? That might be your starting point.
