We Track Your Money In a Workers’ Comp Claim

Here is the transcript for the video:

0:00 well it’s the week before Thanksgiving
0:03 and our here kappa morel and i’m in one
0:07 of our fabulously luxurious conference
0:10 rooms we call this the km mexico
0:13 conference room and i’m here with a team
0:16 member of ours or Annika say hi Veronica
0:19 one moment veronica has been with us for
0:24 at least over seven years and Veronica
0:29 is somebody that most of our clients
0:31 meet because there we go Veronica’s one
0:36 of the clients that our team members
0:39 made particularly when it comes to most
0:41 important thing other than medical care
0:43 and that is money money money
0:46 often times clients will ask me well
0:48 what’s going on with my money and I’ll
0:49 say I don’t know Veronica knows and so
0:52 meadow is then oh tracks we think who do
0:57 we calculate like close to seven eight
1:01 million dollars of checks every year
1:04 probably probably every year so one of
1:06 the big differences between workers
1:08 compensation cases and like personal
1:10 injury cases or other kinds of lawsuits
1:13 is there is only one check in those
1:24 is if you sue if you’re in a motor
1:28 vehicle accident used to somebody who’s
1:30 responsible that person isn’t going to
1:32 pay anything until the very very end and
1:34 then they write one check and one check
1:36 only and that one check has to cover
1:38 everything in workers compensation it’s
1:40 different because the insurance company
1:42 particularly in admitted claims they’re
1:45 paying out checks all the time they’re
1:46 paying checks to the doctors they’re
1:48 paying checks to the physical therapists
1:50 they’re to paying checks for mileage
1:52 they’re paying you checks for lost wages
1:54 every two weeks when years getting lost
1:57 wages if you have an impairment rating
1:58 they’re paying that out and every two
2:01 weeks
2:01 etc and then maybe at the end and often
2:04 at the end there might be a settlement
2:06 check on top of that well how do we
2:09 track all those checks well I can tell
2:11 you I have Veronica who tracks all those
2:14 checks and so we track everything and
2:17 one of the things that we do which
2:18 Veronica loves and as we say it’s kind
2:21 of job security is at the end of every
2:25 case we we make sure that the insurance
2:29 company has paid out exactly what they
2:33 said that they were supposed to pay out
2:35 and Veronica how often do you find where
2:40 the insurance company says well we paid
2:42 this and that
2:44 they didn’t quite often why often if I I
2:48 can say maybe one out of ten times at
2:53 least I see that happening sometimes
2:55 more often than that than that but the
2:57 eyes amazing how sometimes they decline
3:01 or in this case injured person believes
3:03 everything was paid for and when I
3:05 started running all the numbers that
3:07 were admitted versus walk has been paid
3:09 there is something that is missing and
3:11 we always look for the last penny to
3:13 make sure you got paid what you deserve
3:15 and we don’t have Rhonda here today rung
3:19 as an attorney with us who used to work
3:21 for 20 years for defense firms with
3:25 insurance companies but she will tell
3:27 you and then Michael so who worked with
3:29 other firms will tell you we are the
3:31 only firm that that you know of that
3:33 tracks everything from beginning to end
3:35 including before we were on the case to
3:38 through the case to make sure that when
3:41 the insurance company says that they
3:42 paid you fifty seven thousand three
3:44 hundred twenty two dollars and fifty two
3:46 cents in lost wages and twenty thousand
3:49 forty two in impairment rating money we
3:53 make sure that they’ve actually paid it
3:54 out and then we track to the clients
3:56 where that money went
3:57 that is a long exhausting process and
4:00 that’s why I have you do it rather than
4:03 me right but then that’s your background
4:06 I mean you are in Ames and you’ve got
4:08 your degree and I mean or something
