Sharing information is the principal purpose of this blog and my website. The system will operate more efficiently if we all have access to the same knowledge base. The Court has two staff attorneys who research legal questions posed by the judges and administration.

It covers temporary and permanent compensation, permanent total disability, combined disabilities and vocational rehabilitation. It is an excellent synopsis that includes basic answers to commencing and terminating temporary total disability, medical evidence and rating of permanent impairment.
