      Thank you for the kind words. I am sorry you have been injured. If you think you will need future medical care including a surgery you may want to remain in comp system.

    I was just wondering, my doctor released me back in February. And I’m about to run out of unemployment and I still haven’t gotten better. During that time I’ve had four different Cortizone injections. And an MRI on my thoracic spine and they found I had a disc herniation. I’m being sent back for another MRI on my lumbar spine. And my doctor is requesting surgery for the second time.
    Originally, I was supposed to get surgery back in June. When we requested in April. Worker’s Comp. didn’t respond for two months, and they said no because he didn’t get Cortizone injections. And they denied those in the first place.
    I also found out that I won’t be getting temporary disability after my surgery because I didn’t have wages to match. Despite that I was not ready to go back to work because of my injuries. I also have three disc herniations, a disc bulge, a partial, labrum thickness tear in my hip, and I’m trying to get an MRI of my shoulder blade.
    I was wondering if my doctors can be held accountable for releasing me when I shouldn’t have been released. And if it’s still possible that I can make a case that I wasn’t ready to go back to work and I can get temporary disability.
    I was also wondering if Worker’s Comp. themselves can be held accountable for denying me care that I needed and delaying treatment.

    • @TyWilsonLaw

      Ok, this is pretty involved, is your claim in Georgia? If yes, when is the last time you received temporary total disability weekly checks? Did you quit your job or did the employer terminate you for reasons unrelated to your work injury? This maybe one best suited for a phone call if it occurred in Georgia? Let me know, there are a lot of moving parts here. Ty

    • @TyWilsonLaw
      @TyWilsonLaw  Рік тому

      To answer your questions if in Georgia, Workers comp is not held accountable for delaying treatment, their goal is to delay, delay deny. That sounds like what you are going through. That said WC knows they do not have to pay for pain and suffering so we see a lot of cases where the delay in treatment screws the injured worker from recovering. Since there is no penalty for delay they are not concerned.
      The doctors can only be held accountable if they malpractice themselves but by releasing you they are saying that is their opinion typically speaking if a doctor does not blow the standard of care, he will not be held accountable.
      You still potentially have an ongoing case and depending upon your situation maybe entitled to income benefits and should be entitled to continue medical care.

    I was injured at work. Went to the hospital complaining of a bad headache, and major pain in my neck shoulder and wrist. They xray my chest and wrist then discharge, no pain meds and straight to physical therapy. They never treated my head or neck at all in the 3 years I was on workers comp. 4 months after the injury I find out my collar bone was broken. It's still broken ( 5 years later) . They basically financially killed me in to settling. The pains been getting worse and worse and idk what to do. No doctor will treat me because it was workers comp. What do I do? Please help me!!!

    • @TyWilsonLaw
      @TyWilsonLaw  Рік тому +1

      Wow, I am very sorry to hear this. I had a very similar case where my client broke/fractured his lower back and hurt his neck/cervical spine. However, he did not complain for 6 months and multiple doctor's visits. We attempted to get the care for his neck which at that time was surgery picked up by WC. We lost and appealed and lost again. The time frame from which you have the injury and complain to the doctors is very important. You said they "financially killed me in to settling?" Are you able to seek out any care for your collar bone? If WC denied it, it can not be used against you. Meaning if it was a WC injury, and they denied it. It is no longer WC. You can attempt to explain to the doctor that it is NOT workers comp. You can explain you no longer have a claim. The issue is that it is now your responsibility not WC. Doctors stop attempting to treat when they find out it is a workers' comp claim. The reason is they do not get paid, unless it is approved and authorized by the WC insurance company. The doctors do not want to work for free nor do they want to chase down the small amount WC pays for claims.
      Do you have any form of insurance or medical assistance like Medicaid? You should consider your options with that and possibly consult with a Social Security Disability Attorney to see if you have any options there. SSDI may qualify you for Medicare, which could also help pay for medical care. Again, I am sorry about the world you find yourself in. I hope this was helpful in providing you some guidance moving forward. Good luck. Ty

      Mr. Whlie, good afternoon. Several questions, is your case in Georgia? Do you have counsel? Are you receiving temporary total disability checks currently? Did the FCE, state whether you can work sedentary duty or very light duty? Has your surgeon said you are at MMI- maximum medical improvement? Do you agree or are you looking for a second medical opinion?

      @@anthonywylie5771 So New Mexico could be different from Georgia. So I hate to say it but I do not know New Mexico law. You should speak with a New Mexico workers' compensation attorney and a New Mexico SSDI attorney. It would be best if they were the same person or in the same office so you know everyone is on the same page. Because the states are so different in their laws, and not practicing in New Mexico, I can not offer any advice moving forward. You would do yourself a disservice to attempt to resolve without an attorney who knows what you are entitled too, and knows a valuation that would be fair. I would seek one out. Even paying attorneys fees you will come out ahead because of the experience with the WC system. Good luck. Ty
