Overview

With this updated edition of UNDERSTANDING THE AMA GUIDES IN WORKERS' COMPENSATION, you'll develop a solid understanding of the new standards, which in turn, will empower you to argue cases more successfully. Readers will find pages of detail on:

the distinction between 'permanent impairment' and disability
the circumstances under which physicians may express an opinion concerning disability
spine evaluations under the new injury model
and much more.

You'll also get practical answers to important questions like 'How do the AMA GUIDES rate degrees of impairment?' and, 'How do they establish a monetary value for a totally impaired body part?' Plus, there's state-by-state case-specific information, checklists, and sample proofs.
