And so the AD is confirmed....
Andrea Hoch is approved by the State Senate as the Administrative Director of the Division of Workers' Compensation. This is the person who has instituted the draconian permanent disability schedule which fabricates out of thin air the "loss of future earnings" for injured workers as a factor of disability. The result: 50-70% cuts in permanent diability awards. Injured workers are being shafted on the political and legislative front. The rulings being handed down by the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board are not favorable. This leaves the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court to restore some sanity to an unconscionable situation. Will relief come in time? > posted by Charles Wear > 4/29/05; 6:12:37 AM |
