Legal Question in Workers Comp in Hawaii

Re: permanent partial disability

My response follows somewhat that of my colleague. Whether the 18% is fair depends on several considerations. Was the rating a product of a physical capacity evaluation? Was it given by your doctor? Further, even if fair, the issue may be whether your limitations as a practical matter impair your ability to be gainfully employed? Have you returned to work? Are you at full duty? Are there physician assigned job restrictions? Has your employer accomodated these restrictions?

You may call my office or e-mail me with additional information or arrange for a no obligation consultation.

Re: permanent partial disability

I need additional info to give you an answer. For example, what was your rating? Who performed the rating? What was your occupation before you were injured? Please email me at [email protected] or call me at 526-4000. ext. 206. TJ Lane
