You’d be hard pressed to find an occupation that doesn’t come with some risk of injury, whether it’s the result of job injuries related to accidents, occupation exposure to hazardous substances, repetitive motions, etc. The goal of workers’ compensation insurance to ensure that individuals who suffer from injuries or illness due to their work are compensated.
Unfortunately, though the system is supposedly set up to benefit workers, it can be such a confusing system that many never get the benefits they deserve. This is why we suggest working with a workers’ compensation attorney who can guide you through the process.
We can guide you through the process
There can be a lot of red tape involved in getting the benefits you’re owed. You need an aggressive attorney who can fight the insurance company and their attorneys to get you what you deserve. We can be there by your side from start to finish. Our services include responding to medical treatment denials, filing all the necessary paperwork on your behalf, and ensuring that you get to a doctor who’s independent and unbiased for an evaluation.
You may be eligible for numerous workers’ compensation benefits
There are a host of workers’ compensation benefits, any one or more of which you may be eligible for. They include medical treatments, lump sum payment options, temporary disability payments, and permanent disability payments. The sad truth is that insurance companies often try to reduce or even deny the benefits you’re entitled to.
Some tactics they may use include arguing that you’re not actually disabled by the injury or illness you suffered, or that said illness or injury wasn’t caused by your work. We know how to fight the insurance company when they try these tactics. We will stand up for your rights and ensure that you have aggressive legal representation to fight against baseless claims.
You could receive your benefits right away
One of the most commonly asked questions about these cases is when a person can expect to get their benefits. The answer is that you may get medical care for your injury or illness right away. If medical providers are informed that you have a workers’ compensation claim pending, they aren’t legally allowed to collect payment from you directly.
As far as other benefits are concerned, the amount of time it takes will vary based on your specific case. The reality is that insurance companies will sometimes work to delay your claim. However, the sooner you begin working with an attorney the faster this process can begin.
