As a claimant's attorney, I've got to say the legislature's 2007 "reforms" are a disaster for injured workers. The new law is not generous with regard to benefits, especially for those workers who have the longest-term needs, those with permanent partial disabilities. It also does nothing significant to stop defense insurance firms from engaging in what this writer honestly believes is excessive, self-interested litigation against injured workers by certain firms (and yes, I'd be happy to name names and provide specific examples to the legislature). A true "reform" law would not suffer these obvious defects. Spencer D. Parr, Esq. of Vincent J. Criscuolo & Associates (criscuololaw.com).
