About the Book

The American Medical Association's Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (or AMA Guides) is mandated for use in many workers' compensation systems. The AMA Guides are now in their sixth edition, and various states are using either the third, fourth, fifth, or sixth edition of the Guides.

In easy-to-follow language, Understanding the AMA Guides in Workers' Compensation brings you up to speed with a review of essential concepts... complete coverage of the 4th, 5th, and 6th Edition of the AMA Guides ...and a focus on the key changes.

Understanding the AMA Guides in Workers' Compensation delivers the concise, jargon-free information you need to prepare any case with confidence - and the courtroom-tested tactics to help you win it. Whether you're new to workers' compensation cases or a long-time practitioner, this expertise-filled resource will be an invaluable time and work-saving tool in every case involving the AMA Guides.

This resource is an arsenal of ready-to-use tools, techniques, and tips to help you build a better case from start to finish, including:

  • Expert insight on how physicians should reach impairment ratings - and how to spot mistakes that may compromise up to 80% of all ratings, according to one study
  • Case-tested guidelines for using the AMA Guides to prepare client and physician testimony
  • Sample proofs that illustrate how permanent impairment can be established for various injuries
  • A cross-examination guide that shows how to pick apart an opposing physician's credibility, including word-for-word cross-examinations from real cases
  • Dozens of questions to confound opposing witnesses - including case-clinchers like "The Ten Most Difficult Cross-Examination Questions"
  • Convenient digests of federal and state statutes and case law decisions that put a wealth of legal background at your fingertips

Understanding the AMA Guides in Workers' Compensation has been updated to include coverage of:

  • Which conditions are not adequately covered in each edition of the AMA Guides
  • The level of compliance with the AMA Guides legally required of a rating physician
  • When rating physicians may deviate from the Guides and how to justify or challenge such deviations
  • Which edition of the AMA Guides is legally required to be used
  • Whether the AMA Guides are admissible into evidence
  • How to challenge the adoption of the AMA Guides
  • What the courts find or do not find persuasive when ratings made under the AMA Guides are challenged
  • How the AMA Guides relate to scheduled awards
  • How to preserve the strongest record for appeal
  • When exactly a claimant is or is not at maximum medical improvement--for example, a claimant with a condition such as reflex sympathetic dystrophy, which may wax and wane over time
  • Can a claimant be evaluated for impairment even though he is not at maximum medical improvement
  • Who is qualified to rate impairment
  • And more!
