Guest Bogdan Savych, a senior policy analyst at the Workers' Compensation Research Institute (WCRI), discusses his new paper, written with David Neumark, entitled “Impact of Attorney Representation on Workers' Compensation Payments.” WCRI studied the impact of attorney representation when it comes to indemnity payments (income replacement benefits) for injured workers in what, on its face, is supposed to be a straightforward Workers' Compensation system. What impact, statistically, does having an attorney represent an injured worker have on payments? Not surprisingly, Savych's research found that for workers, having an attorney represent them in their claims can result in higher payments, but there is still work to be done. And, as host Alan S. Pierce notes, it's even possible involving an attorney can save the Workers' Comp insurance company money by identifying other parties who are liable for the injury through negligence. But then, what about attorney fees? There are myriad factors to consider, and, as we know, every state is different. If you're an attorney who represents injured workers in Workers' Compensation claims, or you're otherwise connected to the world of Workers' Comp, consider joining WCRI as a member. If you have thoughts on Workers' Comp law or an idea for a topic or guest you'd like to hear, contact us at JPierce@ppnlaw.com.

When workers are recovering from a workplace injury, there are psychosocial factors, mental factors, which can impede the recovery from physical injuries. Things such as a worker's recovery expectations, fear of pushing too hard or performing activities that may restrict the benefits of physical therapy and hamper recovery, or even new negative feeling about their job and perceived injustices over how a supervisor or employer reacted to the injury. Can these “mental” factors prolong recovery and delay a return to productive work? Guest Vennela Thumula, Ph.D., works at the Workers' Compensation Research Institution – a nonprofit, objective provider of research and analysis – and is the lead author of this year's WCRI report, “Importance of Psychosocial Factors for Physical Therapy Outcomes.” The role of psychosocial factors is increasingly being recognized as a major factor in recovery. Understanding a clients' mental state – and its impact on recovering – may be just as important as their injury diagnosis when it comes to achieving full compensation and helping them return to a full, productive life. Just because you can't see an injury doesn't mean it isn't there. What you hear on this episode of Workers' Comp Matters may change how you approach each client's individual situation.
