The crooked combination seems to be Chiropractors/Lawyers

I see chiropractor on a back injury and smile. Your doctor was manipulating the vertebrae on your spine with severe degenerative disc disease? Buh-bye.

Most of the problems I have are just well-meaning but not particularly competent doctors that don't understand the legal usage of medical causation, and want to fix everything and bill it to the employer.

In Utah, the courts have construed the statute of limitations away. So I just did an appeal in a case where a lady got hurt in 1987, then got hurt at another employer, lost her claim against the second employer, so brought a claim against the first employer for the permanent total disability. 20 years later. And won. She had a back sprain in 1987. Today, severe structural back degeneration. No way the one is medically related to the other. It's insane.
