It’s not easy being busy and important.  I get that.  ((Or, rather, I would get it if I were important too.))

And that’s why I’m just trying to make your life just a little bit easier with our new permanent and stationary report rating service.

Need a rating fast?  Need “old schedule” and “new schedule” ratings?

No problem.  Just fill out the handy referral form and fax or e-mail us your permanent and stationary reports and one of our Certified Impairment Rating Specialist will quickly e-mail you the rating you need to move your case forward.  ((A PDRater certified rating is a rating prepared by a Certified Impairment Rating Specialist using PDRater calculators, the most trusted and impartial workers compensation calculators in California.))

We’ve all seen ratings from various sources – the DEU, opposing counsel, clients, and professional raters.  ((Photo Credit: Shira Golding via Compfight))  My question to all of you dear readers is – what do you like to see in a professional permanent disability rating?
