Our firm handles hundreds of calls each month from injured workers. This is a scary and confusing time for employees in Indiana. We hear many of the same questions each day. Below is a list of those common questions:
- I am unable to work as a result of my injury. Why have I not received any temporary total disability benefits (TTD)?
- My employer fired me after my work injury. Can they do that? Am I still entitled to work comp benefits?
- What are all these acronyms…IME (Independent Medical Exam), PPI (Permanent Partial Impairment), TTD (Total Temporary Disability), FCE (Functional Capacity Exam), MMI (Maximum Medical Improvement)?
- They said the PPI rating is 13% to my shoulder but the settlement isn’t being paid on a 13% PPI rating. What does that mean? Is the insurance company cheating me out of my settlement?
