Being injured at work
can be one of the most painful, disruptive, and confusing events that can
happen in a person’s life. If you are unable to work, the loss of income can be
extremely burdensome on an injured worker and their family. If you don’t have
health insurance, you may not know how to pay for medical treatment. And if you’ve
sustained a permanent injury, you may wonder how you’ll ever make ends meet in
the future. Worrying about these issues
on top of dealing with pain can be overwhelming. Your attorney can help you get disability
benefits, medical treatment, and even a lump sum award if you’ve sustained a
permanent injury.
One of the greatest
values of retaining an attorney is that you will have someone who is on your
side to protect your interests, financial and medical, every step of the
way. Here are some of the most common
reasons that workers compensation claims are denied and how hiring an
experienced attorney can prevent these things from happening to you.
Injured workers’ claims
are frequently denied on the basis that a causal connection is lacking, i.e.,
the injuries were preexisting. Your
attorney can set you up with a doctor of your choice to examine you and provide
an unbiased opinion as to the cause of your injuries. Your attorney can
negotiate with the insurance company using your doctor’s opinions to attempt to
get your claim accepted.
Sometimes, an injured
worker’s claim is initially accepted and you receive some medical treatment and
some disability benefits. But then the
checks stop coming.
Your attorney can help
you by setting you up with an unbiased doctor.
Your attorney can then use your doctor’s report to file issues on your
behalf and obtain an order forcing the insurance carrier to pay your benefits.
