Dr. Muldavin has been practicing in the Sacramento area for over 36 years and he specializes in Personal Injury and Workers Compensation (see workers compensation attorneys below). His credentials (see CV ) which include Qualifications in Primary Spine Care, MRI Interpretation Review, and Trauma can be used to benefit your practice as the medical legal organization he is affiliated with has seen dramatic increases in settlements over the last several years. In fact, settlements without a herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP) have gone up 708% based on demonstrable evidence we can show based on digital software ( Symverta) which is a tool to digitize and show ligamentous injury consistent with Alteration of Motion Segment Integrity (AOMSI) as shown on pages 384 and 392 of the AMA Guides to Permanent Impairment 5^th edition. Furthermore, settlements with HNP’s have increased by 1209% as we can now demonstrate current HNP’s by age dating and colorizing our MRI’s

Furthermore, insurance carriers have utilized deceptive rhetoric to mitigate just settlement demands for your clients. The four most common topics carriers use employ the following deceptive rhetoric;

1. All sprains are transient and not serious.
2. All disc herniations on MRI's are preexisting...
3. No or low damage crashes = no injury.
4. Pre-existing arthritis indicates current injuries are also pre-existing.

Attached above are my four articles which will allow you to scientifically refute their deceptive rhetoric. You can also contact Dr. Muldavin directly and he will send you these articles.

Similarly, I have done a whole series of articles which I like to call” From Colossus (or CPEC) to the Courtroom”. In these articles I first focus on the courtroom, which only occurs rarely but very important for attorneys to set up cases “as if” they would go to trial. After this article I talk about the 99% of the rest of the cases which do not go to trial that are dictated by Colossus or CPEC (Computer Programs to Evaluate Claims), which are software programs designed by the insurance companies to evaluate and in most cases reduce the settlement based on your demands. According to multiple sources, these software programs utilized by insurance carriers are based on four main categories and percentages as follows:

1. 25%-neurological damage
2. 25%-whole person impairment
3. 25%-duties under duress (functional loss)
4. 25% loss of enjoyment of life (functional loss)

Please see attachments below to these articles or contact Dr. Muldavin directly to have these articles sent directly to you.

Dr. Muldavin has treated injured workers since 1988 and became a Qualified Medical Evaluator in 1992 at the genesis of this program. Dr. Muldavin has performed hundreds of qualified medical evaluations and most recently the new laws allow primary treating physicians to perform medical legal evaluations which have the same weight as a QME and or an AME. I have many attorneys who refer patients for me to act as their clients Primary Treating Physician who many times have been treated prior to Dr. Muldavin seeing the patient. Many times, they have come from different clinics or hospitals who act as the first contact for the injured worker directed by the employer and many times the medical records do not include certain body parts or many other medical legal issues. What many workers compensation attorneys do not realize is that as a primary treating physician we can perform medical legal evaluations if there's any medically legal contested issues such as accepted body parts, total temporary disability, or AOE/COE issues. With my expertise as a QME’s I can perform primary treating physician medical legal evaluations with Substantial Medical Evidence proving your client/ injured worker perhaps does have injuries to the non-accepted body part and should be on Total Temporary Disability and by describing the mechanism of injury, Dr.Muldavin can within a Reasonable Medical Probability substantiate the cause of the injuries if indicated.
