Today on The Accidental Lawyer, we are with Joe and his wife again at the Worker’s Compensation hearing. The attorney for Joe argues with the Judge on his behalf trying to get the treatment Joe so desperately needs. After hearing his attorney speak, he thought for sure the Judge would side with them. However, the attorney for the carrier kept saying something about “medical treatment guidelines”. What does that mean? Also, the carrier’s attorney said that the treatment was “experimental”. But this treatment helped Joe? What does the Judge decide, and did they get the variance requested in the MG-2 form? Download this week’s Episode of The Accidental Lawyer and find out what happens, as well as other situations Joe is now placed in.
Kate also picks another question this week to answer from email. Charles is currently collecting Worker’s Compensation benefits, but the Judge has directed him to look for another job. He has found one, but it pays significantly less. Does Charles need to take this job? Hint…it’s a good news/bad news situation.
