Managing Medical Care in Workers’ Compensation Cases

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012

In a workers’ compensation case, sometimes the injured worker cannot get his employer to designate an authorized treating physician.  We will tell him typically to ask his employer where they want him to go, and if they refuse to name one, or try and stall, we tell the client to go to an emergency room, an urgent care facility, or their family doctor to seek whatever urgent care is needed.  We will then send the bill to the insurance company for payment.

Man Injured at Oil Change Facility – Personal Injury Lawyer

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012

Personal injury lawyers like myself see everything! And accidents can happen anywhere.

I talked to a man recently who was injured in a local oil change store when they brought him into the garage to check out the car.  I haven’t done my investigation yet, but I would think that violates the procedure, as most of these places have “No customers behind…” certain designated areas signs.  A personal injury attorney such as myself will need to know what the procedures were, and was their negligence in causing this

Statute of Limitations in Personal Injury Claims in SC and GA

Thursday, December 29th, 2011

One thing we accident attorneys have to be very careful with is the statute of limitations of our cases.  When I take in a new case, I assign it the appropriate statute of limitations, and my paralegal logs it in.  We keep an update SL calendar, and also have current SL lists.  If a statute of limitations is approaching, we make sure the claim or lawsuit is filed.  This is for both workers’ compensation and personal injury/auto accident cases.

Slip and Fall Accident In Store- Personal Injury Case?

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011

I just fielded a call from a man who was walking into a store, and mopping was going on, causing the man to slip and fall.  The mopping was not marked, so no warning was given.  This may be a case of liability, but I told him I’d like to know some more about his injuries before investing the resources to take the case.  Slip and fall cases are more challenging for personal injury lawyers, so we have a different threshold for the injuries.

Let me say at the outset that I’m not a Florida workers’ compensation attorney.  But if this on the job accident happened in South Carolina, any lawsuit against the employer would be disallowed due to the exclusive remedy rule.  This means that the exclusive remedy of an employee against employer for an accidental injury is the workers’ comp system, even if the employer was negligent.  However, if a third party contractor was negligent, then a claim could proceed against them.
