Benefits of Hiring a Permanent Disability Ratings Attorney

Workers' comp is an administrative system with its own rules, deadlines, and judges — an attorney who handles these cases daily knows how to navigate the system and avoid procedural mistakes that can sink your claim

Insurance companies handling workers' comp claims have one goal: pay as little as possible. An attorney ensures you receive all the benefits you're entitled to, not just what the insurer offers initially.

If your claim was denied, an attorney can appeal and represent you at hearings. Denied claims are common, but many are overturned on appeal with proper legal representation.

Your employer's insurance company is not on your side. They may pressure you to return to work too soon, dispute your medical treatment, or undervalue your disability. An attorney protects your interests.

If a third party (equipment manufacturer, contractor, property owner) contributed to your injury, you may have an additional personal injury claim beyond workers' comp. An attorney identifies all potential sources of compensation.

Common Questions About Permanent Disability Ratings

General information only — not legal advice.

How is permanent disability rated?

A doctor evaluates your condition at maximum medical improvement (MMI) and assigns an impairment rating. This rating is used to calculate benefits. You have the right to get an independent medical evaluation if you disagree with the rating.

Can I dispute my disability rating?

Yes. If you believe your rating is too low, you can request an independent medical evaluation and challenge the rating through the workers' comp system. An attorney can help you navigate this process.
