Legal Question in Disability Law in California
QME findings support my claim. Insurer is fighting this. What now?
The QME in my disability claim
supported my claim and found
permanent disability and 100%
cause arising from my workplace. The
insurer is ''quarreling'' with the
findings. What does this mean for my
continued care? Can they forestall
my care by contesting the QME
findings?

Re: QME findings support my claim. Insurer is fighting this. What now?
The insurance company may have decided to dispute the QME report by deposing the QME doctor and/or to request the doctor for a supplemental report. You have a right to make sure that QME doctor reviews all medical records that support your case. Call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation about your case.

It depends on what they are diputing. They most likely are diputing the amount of disability that the QME gave you. They may be disputing the apportionment, they may be disputing the body parts he found, the qme may have recommended certain aspects of the treatment you need. As long as they are not disputing the treatment (i.e. surgery), you can still treat; at least to the extent that they are not disputing.
If you would like to show me the report and the objection the carrier sent you I could tell you for sure what to expect.
If you would like to contact me directly, you can email me at my personal email address, or you could call my office directly.
I do not charge for any consultations, so feel free to contact me and I can be of more assistance to you.
Good luck,
