The employees are still serviced by an insurance company, and often have no idea their employer is actually paying the claims behind the scene.

Doctors assigned to perfom IME's in Workers Compensation case by the comissioner who make false allegations can they be sued?

In Texas, the only duty that designated doctors owe the injured worker whom they examine is to not injure the patient during the course of the examination.

Based on a permanent partial disability rating what is a fair medical settlement offer should you except on in a workers'compensation claim?

In Georgia, solely a PPD Rating you would calculate the Average Weekly Wage (AWW) multiplied times the maximum number of allowable weeks times the disability rating. Thus if you had an AWW of $100 and a PPD rating of 10% to your whole body (carrying a maximum of 300 weeks) you MIGHT expect to demand $3,000. If you think that is low, consider the low weekly wage as well as the small disability rating. If the AWW is $500, and PPD rating is 75%, the settlement demand might be at $150,375.00.

As none of this is legal advice and there is no way to know particulars of your case, please consider contacting a local WORKERS' COMPENSATION ATTORNEY to discuss your case. WC LAWS VERY FROM STATE TO STATE.

Just because a PPD rating has been given, doesn't necessarily mean that you will not require additional medical care or encounter other obstacles until you are truly at maximum medical improvement.
