Usually, when a person is hurt in a car wreck, their first thought (after contacting their auto insurance company) is to contact a personal injury lawyer. Even though they have an auto INJURY, they think lawyer first and doctor sometime later. Don't get me wrong - personal injury attorneys are great and valuable after you're in a car wreck. We work with lots of PI attorneys at WOLMED. However, the backbone of personal injury is the need for recovery. What would happen if all those people who were hurt in a car wreck just took the legal route and got reimbursed for their pain, suffering and inconvenience, but never saw a doctor and got therapy to get better? We would have millions of potentially disabled people.
We also believe that dollar amounts in settlements are higher when injured patients come to us for personal injury treatment. WOLMED doctors are experts in documenting personal injury cases so that you can get better and get a fair settlement. Attorneys prefer our medical records over other doctors because they are so detailed that insurance adjusters are able to give better settlements. Our doctors document the mechanism of injury in the initial history and physical and throughout treatment, they document the duration and seriousness of all of your symptoms. We're able to accurately document both the physical and symptom diagnoses on claim forms and in documentation to help adjusters give fair settlements.
Examples of physical diagnoses are: lumbar strain, contusion, herniated disk, knee strain, rotator cuff tear, etc. Symptom diagnoses are things like: sleep disturbance, headaches, dizziness, muscle spasm, and more. Being able to fully document all of these areas is critically important to the outcome to a personal injury case.
WOLMED patients achieve excellent outcomes in all aspects of their auto injury. If you or anyone you know was hurt in an auto accident, give WOLMED a call. You may also need a personal injury attorney. If you don't know who to call for legal advice, we can recommend an attorney to you. At WOLMED, we can help you with every aspect of your auto injury. We want to be your doctor.

Postal Workers Doctor
WOLMED treats patients who were injured working for the post office. Since 2008, the medical doctors at WOLMED have treated 134 people who work for the United States Postal Service. Federal workers comp has different rules than state workers comp. A doctor who treats patients under the Department of Labor must be more highly specialized in those federal rules than doctors who treat only state workers comp.
Federal workers comp has special forms that must be filled out and submitted to the DOL and to the employer. If these forms are not filled out correctly and on-time, it could cause serious problems for the injured worker, including loss of pay, loss of injury benefits, and loss of job.
If you're hurt at work for the post office, you need to choose your doctor very carefully. There are a lot of really good doctors out there, but if your doctor doesn't specialize in federal workers comp and doesn't understand the rules that injured postal employees and other injured federal workers must follow, you could have a lot of problems - other than the injury itself.
WOLMED does specialize in federal workers compensation. We understand the rules set forth by the Department of Labor and we pride ourselves in having excellent patient outcomes and excellent patient satisfaction scores. Our patients get better. They are happy. And - they don't experience the hassles that are possible when the doctor isn't a federal workers comp expert.
If you or someone you know was injured working for the post office or any other federal agency, choose WOLMED for the treatment of your federal workers comp injury.
