Have you been released or have have reached medical maximum improvement? Are you still collecting temporary disability thru wc? In my case, I have reached MMI and my benefits had stopped. No other surgeries required at this point however, since I have hardware place from top to bottom, I am covered for life if any complications arise related to my injury.

Every injury is different. I don't understand how an IME report can take a year to be generated by the physician, unless your medical conditions has changed from the initial exam. I am also confuse to the comment posted that the "insurane company are looking for us to give up". Have your surgeries denied by the wc insurance company? Are you fighting to have the surgery and wc feels that it is not warranted. What does your attorney think about your claim?

My injuries speaks for itself, and maybe that's probably the reason why my case is proceding. It's been al

Your attorney is your advocate related to your case to be heard in the wc court. It's been a year that I haven't received any temporary benefits. According to my wc Attorney, it normally takes a year. At the present, I had my IME with WC and my WC attorney scheduled me to see a neuropsychiatric MD and an orthopaedic MD. Just waiting for the report and a court date will be scheduled for both parites to agree upon settlement. I'm just confused for the injuried party to be in WC for so long.

My case, I had 10 surgeries one year, and another surgery the following year and another surgery the following year.

My Regards To ALL and Best Wishes.....

Yes, I am represented by an attorney, but he is not responsive and wants me to go with medical set-aside even though the last IME said I am at MMI according to my wrist injury only; he didn't take my neck and back into consideration and said it in his report. According to 14 out of 16 Drs. I have been in need of 2 surgeries for over 10 years and am still fighting the Ins.Co to get them without much help from my lawyer. I am no longer receiving WC benefits because I have exceeded the 520 weeks (10 years). Hope all goes well for you/All!
