In this video, I break down the typical timelines for various stages of a workers’ compensation case. On average, a workers’ comp case takes 12-24 months, from filing a claim to reaching Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI). I’ll explain the steps involved, like filing a claim, receiving temporary wage benefits, and dealing with exceptions for severe or complex cases.

Temporary wage benefits differ by state, ranging from 104 to 500 weeks. I’ll cover which states have the longest and shortest periods and when these benefits usually stop. Getting medical treatment approved can take weeks to months due to insurance reviews and documentation issues, and I’ll share tips to speed this up.

I’ll also discuss the timeline for Independent Medical Examinations (IMEs) and hearings, explaining why and when they are scheduled. Reaching MMI can vary depending on the injury and whether surgery is needed. Returning to work depends on factors like medical clearance and job type.

You’ll learn about the impairment rating process and how long it takes to get SLU determinations. I’ll explain the difference between lump sum and ongoing disability payments and the typical timeline for receiving them.

Finally, I’ll discuss settlement negotiations, including fast and slow settlements, and how denials or appeals can extend your case. Common delays and tips to move your case along faster are also covered.

If you’re navigating a workers’ comp case, understanding these timelines can help you manage your expectations and better plan your next steps!
