It’s a new month, in a new year and if you are like me, you are just starting to get organized and back into a normal routine after the stress and strain of the holidays and end of the year things to do. If you are also dealing with a work comp claim, maybe you have been meaning to call a lawyer with questions about your claim but have just been too busy and stressed.
A work comp claim can be stressful enough on its own, without adding in all of the other things you deal with on a daily basis. If this is your first time in the Minnesota work comp system, it can be overwhelming. It’s not unusual for someone in your situation to have a lot of questions about the claim, including:
– How much should the insurance company be paying me for wage loss every week and how did they come up with the number?
– Why have I been assigned a QRC, what the heck is a QRC and what is the QRC’s job?
– How long will my claim last and how will it end?
– Will I get a settlement at some point and, if so, how much will it be?
– Do I have to have surgery if it’s recommended by one of my doctors?
– Can I get a 2nd opinion if I am not satisfied with my current doctor?
– Does my employer have to offer me a job within my work restrictions?
These are just a few of the many, many questions I have answered over the past 38 years practicing workers’ compensation in northern Minnesota. There is no such thing as a dumb or bad question. A work comp claim can take over your life and dramatically affect your activities of daily living, your recreational activities, your finances and relationships.
