01:24 What CVR stands for
Jonathan Castillo tells Peter Anthony CVR stands for Case Valuation Report. Jonathan Castillo walks Peter Anthony through the structural Utah workers compensation problem Case Valuation Report exists to solve, calculating the real value of a Utah workers comp case based on the statute, the body-part schedule, the time off work, the medical visits, and the legal precedents that already exist on the books.
02:02 How Case Valuation Report works
Jonathan Castillo tells Peter Anthony how Case Valuation Report works under the hood. The injured Utah worker, the attorney, or the adjuster inputs the case data into the Case Valuation Report calculator.

Jonathan Castillo names the structural goal, educate the injured Utah worker about what is actually possible under Utah workers compensation law before anyone else gets to define the number.
02:35 The questions injured workers ask first
Jonathan Castillo walks Peter Anthony through the structural Utah injured-worker reality. After a workplace injury, the worker's first questions are basic, how many days off can the worker take, where can the worker go to the doctor, what are the actual benefits. Right now the injured Utah worker walks straight into a law office and is at the mercy of whoever calculates the case and negotiates with the insurance carrier. Case Valuation Report rewrites that flow by giving the injured Utah worker the real number before the worker walks into any of those rooms.

Jonathan Castillo tells Peter Anthony the biggest Utah workers compensation misconception injured workers carry into the conversation. Injured Utah workers often assume case value is tied to the size of the employer, get hurt at a billion-dollar company, expect a million-dollar payout. Jonathan Castillo tells Peter Anthony that is not how Utah workers compensation law actually works. Utah workers comp case value is defined by the statute, where the worker was injured, what body part was affected, how many days off work were lost, and how many medical visits were required. Those statutory variables, not the employer's market cap, determine the real number.
06:36 How injury variables shape case value
Jonathan Castillo walks Peter Anthony through the structural Utah workers compensation math Case Valuation Report has codified. Every body part carries a defined number of compensable weeks under Utah law, using illustrative numbers for the conversation, the entire body might be valued at roughly 500 weeks of compensation, a finger at a much smaller schedule, half a finger at less, the tip of a finger at less still. Case Valuation Report applies the actual Utah statutory schedule, factors in the injured worker's wage rate, and calculates the wage growth multipliers across the compensable period. Peter Anthony names the result, a structurally accurate Utah workers compensation case value, not a guess.
