In today's episode, we'll be discussing the legal and medical aspects of the PPD permanent partial disability exam, which is part of the process in most workers' compensation claims.
And we'll do that with two experts, Jason Mills, partner at GGRM Law Firm, and Dr. James Anthony, GGRM's Chief Medical Officer.
Dr. Anthony is an experienced clinician and teacher, and he is one of the most respected Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) rating doctors in the state who has assessed and rated thousands of workers' compensation claims for the past 20 years. He’s been practicing and teaching medicine for more than 36 years. He's also a trained lawyer, obtaining his JD from Florida State, and is a member of the Florida Bar.
Over his career, Jason D. Mills, Esq. partner at GGRM Law Firm, has acted as lead counsel on several thousand contested workers’ compensation claims. He has developed a reputation as a tireless advocate for his injured clients. Mr. Mills has successfully litigated workers’ compensation cases through the Nevada Industrial Insurance system at all levels of the administrative law process, from the initial Hearing Office through the Nevada Supreme Court.
Mr. Mills is also active in the state trial lawyers association, the Nevada Justice Association (NJA). In that capacity, Mr. Mills has both lobbied and testified for the NJA on important issues related to Nevada’s injured workers at the Nevada Legislature since 2015. In 2016 Mr. Mills was elected to the Board of Governors for the NJA. In 2017 Mr. Mills was awarded the NJA’s “Badger Award” for his distinguished service to the association and the people of the State of Nevada. In 2018 Mr. Mills was elected to the Board of Trustees for the Citizens for Justice, the NJA political action committee. In 2018 the State Bar of Nevada selected Mr. Mills as one of the five co-founding board members to serve on the State Bar of Nevada Board of Workers’ Compensation Legal Specialization in order to create and administer a state bar certification and testing process for attorney specialization in the field of Nevada workers’ compensation law. Mr. Mills is also a member of the national trial lawyers association, the American Association of Justice (AAJ), and Workers’ Injury Law & Advocacy Group (WILG).
