Re: Temporary Disability
What you should do is consult an attorney who knows this area of the law. You probably already have one for the claim. Go back to him/her and explain the situation.
Aren't the adjusters like our employer? The adjuster's job is to save as much money for the insurance company or self insured employer that he/she can. They look good to their boss when they pay as little as possible on claims. Their allegence is to their employer. (This is saying what I think in a nice way.)
If you do not have a Workers' Comp attorney working for you, call my wife, Rhonda Bisnar at 714-835-4444 (she specializes in these type matters). Tell them I sent you.
