This claim involves a Claimant has been at MMI since 2022, by all treating physicians, with a 0% PIR. Despite this, the Claimant’s attorney filed a Motion for Advance. The E/C argued that the Claimant failed to meet his burden to establish a causal connection between his injury and his current loss of wages, and also failed to establish an actual or apparent physical impairment as a result of the industrial accident. The Judge ultimately denied the Motion for Advance, finding that the Claimant failed to establish a nexus between the Claimant’s financial needs and the industrial accident, as the Claimant had not worked for the Insured post-accident.
