Osteoarthritis as such would not be covered because it is a disease that is notacquired as a result of the work you do or the strain you put on joints. However the fact that you are suffering the effects of OA as a result of work may cover you. see a lawyer.

What is the difference between severe osteoarthritis and advanced osteoarthritis?

Severe osteoarthritis typically refers to a high level of pain and functional limitation, with significant joint damage and inflammation, but it may still allow for some degree of mobility and daily activities. Advanced osteoarthritis, on the other hand, indicates a more progressed stage of the disease, often characterized by extensive joint degeneration, severe pain, and substantial loss of function, potentially leading to joint deformities and the need for surgical interventions. Both terms highlight the severity of the condition, but advanced osteoarthritis suggests a more critical state of progression.

Defendants attorney writes letter to ask how much would it take to take care of this workcomp badfaith case Now what happens?

If this case is already in hearing and under consideration before the Workmans Comp Board I would say that the letter writer seems to be in doubt as to the outcome of their case and might be offering to settle. On the other hand, if they filed a frivolous claim for compensation and are simply looking for a payout in order to make the case "go away" it could amount to fraud or perhaps embezzlement.
