Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI)
Another concept in workers' compensation cases is maximum medical improvement (MMI).
MMI is the point at which any further medical care you receive will not lead to further improvement. In other words, the doctors have done all they can do to make you better. Unfortunately, this is also the point at which workers' compensation weekly benefits stop.
But how do you know you truly have reached the point of maximum medical improvement? Often, a doctor selected by
Keefe & Griffiths, PC will disagree with the “company doctor.”

Rating Your Injuries
If you have been injured at work and have filed for workers' compensation, you may already have been introduced to the concept of disability ratings. It may seem surprising, but the doctors will issue a number (rating) that indicates how injured they think you are. The benefits you receive will be based in part on this number.
But how do you know the number is correct?
That is where the law firm of Keefe & Griffiths, PC comes in. Most likely, they will have you seen by another doctor who will issue a different rating. With more than 60 years of experience on our side, our workers' compensation lawyers know how to handle your case correctly.
