this is Chuck Boyk again and I want to talk about the concept
of permanent total disability. Permanent total disability
is the legal remedy and the legal right that
you as an individual will have when you have a worker's compensation claim
in your unable to perform any gainful activity
for the rest of your work life. In order to obtain
permanent total disability, you're going to have to fill out specific forms
and produce medical evidence that will convince a hearing officer
that you're not capable of performing any
gainful employment for the rest of your life, and that's why it's important for
you to obtain an attorney
in that sort of situation because employer
in the Industrial Commission is going to fight you
tooth-and-nail to avoid paying you for the rest of your life
