In Episode #97 of the Work Comp Talk podcast, host Carmen and co-host Bilal Kassem tackle critical workers’ compensation issues faced by seasonal workers, especially during the holiday hiring surge.
They break down the differences between seasonal, part-time, and full-time workers and clarify what workers’ comp benefits seasonal employees are entitled to if injured on the job.
The discussion dives into common injuries in the shipping and transportation industries, including overuse injuries, slips and falls, and even dog bites, while explaining the nuances between temporary and permanent disability benefits. They also explore the complexities of settlements, such as the reversionary interest in future medical care settlements highlighted by UPS as an example.
Carmen and Bilal emphasize the importance of reporting injuries promptly, seeking medical evaluations, and understanding that seasonal workers have the same rights to workers’ comp benefits as any other employees-regardless of how long they’ve been employed. The episode wraps up with practical tips to help seasonal workers stay safe and cautious during their employment.
Tune in for valuable insights and actionable advice tailored to seasonal employees navigating the workers’ compensation system!

    While listening to the dialogue one thing Pricked my spirit as one who's been denied and still fighting to get medical treatment paid by the company I worked for, as well as medication and weekly payments my thoughts went to Indignation because shortly anyone who, taken a dip in pay having to go back and forth to see God knows how many specialist this syc this appointment, that appointment to be in chronic pain for months and in some cases years lose the job because of injury while life screwed!!!!!!! Turned upside down the on top of that have to deal with a crappy insurance company and their lawyer Certainly Were Not thinking were gonna hit a Jackpot and get rich money is the last thing on our mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After dealing with all those horrible individuals I'll tell you, what's on our mind and it ain't Money Cause the horrible people I'm talking about is the people on the job supervisor who's the first line of the companys defense to see to it that one doesn't get any next up is the insurance company and their lawyer all make it know we're here to stand in the way of one receiving anything,or semblance of human treatment like medical care so if they don't have your health welfare, sychological we'll being in one best interest in mind, and by the first 21 days weve been made well aware of that fact I'm saying to myself how in the world could you, sit and think in any conscionable way that money is even a thought in our minds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ump after interactions with the above mentioned demons named by what thier actions uphold I'll tell you, what's on our mind ( God ) Please take the Pain away!!!!!!!!!!! Then it goes to God, can I have one day of No Pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just one day of full total no Pain!!!!!!!!!!! Then it goes to now in my 30,40,50,60s and up I'm Piping f pills all day what a blow on the ego and embarrassing, traveling let's not forget traveling to and from sometimes with and sometimes without a loved one and not getting treatment cause you, have no one to take you, home I'm damn near crying right now at 2:37 am Yea they reached the corners of my eyes.and just the whole idea of travel it takes me 2.hours.and then your hit with the denied for what ever reason ump Your Talking about jack posts lotto shit who gives a shit about lotto and jackpot naw the first thing we want is all of y'all outta our face for life don't ever wanna see none of you, as long as we live cause You've become horrible People!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now we love all the loving Dr.s who find a way to help take care of us in spite of the red tape them and their staff we love and they become our extended family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And we Thank God Fore them,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So this is the order of things insurance companies defense lawyers for the company outta our, face their more painful to look at them The pain we experience!!! Wake up one day soon like today and wala pain gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So in my state you cannot sue your employer in the workmans comp case? Even though part of the initial injury for example is due to a broken brake system idk in a fork lift ab c d .I'm just so confused.

    Not only are they cheap, in consistent with 700 claims per 1 person. I had to wait 3+ months just to receive my first payment. Id rather my entire foot fall off while injured on the job then to ever apply for workmen's comp again. They could careless if you become homeless starving and stressed. They'll get to your claim when they feel like it. My insurance claimer stated it takes them at least 4 years to learn the system with 700! Cases per insurer

    Very interesting that you mentioned a person that fell from three stories. I fell from 10 ft. When I first saw the doctor he had no problem. Now we're 9 months into it and he's trying to tell me it's my age. The reason I'm feeling the pain they've done absolutely nothing for me except PT. I keep asking for pain management. It finally got approved but doctors being really mean about it and saying it's not going to help me. Anyways I just need to get back to work like if I didn't fall from that high

    Long story short, I was made a settlement offer at 20% loss, I wanted to get a final evaluation for peace of mind and a better overview of my injury, the evaluation came back at a lower percentage, then the adjuster said I rejected the offer and came back with a much lower offer. Lesson learned and I'm still fighting it.

    What happens if I accepted a new job offer online and signed the job contract online, but I have not physically started working yet? Does this count against me in my workers' compensation case? I’m under pressure because I have no other source of income, no EDD assistance from the government, and most of my savings are gone. On top of that, the workers' compensation insurance carrier denied my case, and I’m still waiting for the state-appointed QME doctor to evaluate me.

    • @WorkCompTalkPodcast
      @WorkCompTalkPodcast 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Have you seen a QME yet? Normally your Primary Doctor (PTP) will say that you are MMI at some point. This means that you have leveled off medically. Given what you describe it doesn't seem like you would be discharged from care without future medical. When you are MMI, you are typically assessed permanent disability for functional limitations. You can have permanent disability and return to work without restrictions. Once you have leveled off, the adjuster may offer a settlement based on your PTP, but usually you can do better with the right Qualified Medical Evaluation (QME). Sometimes the PTP will write a good report for you, but we can't tell without seeing it. We would be happy to take a look at your case and give you a better answer with specifics. You can schedule a call at a time that works best for you, here is the link pacificworkers.co/book-your-appointment. You can also call the team at 800 606 6999.
