A Denied Claim Or Discontinued Benefits Is Not The End

What Are IMEs And QRCs?
An IME is an Independent Medical Examination, and a QRC is a Qualified Rehabilitative Consultant.
Over the years, many people have found ways to manipulate an exploit the workers’ compensation system. Sometimes they fake injuries, exaggerate injuries or claim that injuries are lingering when really, they are no longer symptomatic.
In an effort to minimize this type of cheating the system, IMEs are required for many people receiving benefits, and these IMEs are conducted by QRCs to make sure claimed injuries are real.
Mr. Bailly can help you understand the process and how to deal with IMEs and QRCs.
What If I Can No Longer Do The Same Job?
This is a common concern for people who have suffered serious injuries at work. What happens if your injuries prevent you from working in the same job or field? It’s one thing to get compensation for medical expenses and lost wages, but if you can’t ever do the same job and need an entirely new career path, is there help for that?
Yes. There are various forms of vocational training and career-change opportunities within the workers’ compensation system.
