Form 107 I PDF Details

The FORM 107-I, also known as the Medical Report - Injury, represents a critical document within the Commonwealth of Kentucky's Department of Workers' Claims framework. Revised in April 2005, this form serves as a comprehensive tool for recording detailed medical information following a work-related injury. It captures the injured party's (plaintiff's) personal and employment details, the examination specifics by the physician, and a thorough account of any treatments previously or currently being administered. Moreover, the form includes sections for documenting the results of any physical examinations and diagnostic tests that were conducted, details of any surgeries performed, and the diagnosis and causation related to the work injury. The form requires the physician to evaluate whether the work-related injury was the cause of the plaintiff's complaints and to explain the causal relationship between the injury and the condition diagnosed. Additionally, it assesses the plaintiff's permanent impairment based on the most recent American Medical Association (AMA) Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, including any pre-existing impairments. The form concludes with the physician's certification of the information provided. Given its role in adjudicating workers' compensation claims, the meticulous completion of each section of FORM 107-I is essential for assisting administrative law judges in making informed decisions about the occupational implications of work-related injuries.
