Do I Need A Lawyer To Help File My Workers’ Compensation Claim?
Workers’ compensation cases are very complicated. The process can be lengthy and any wrong information can cause long delays getting your case approved and in some instances, it can cause you to be denied benefits. Filing deadlines are very strict and need to be completed in a timely manner. Taking care of your family and financial responsibilities is a priority. Having an experienced workers’ compensation attorney on your side is always recommended.
When you suffer any type of work injury it is very important that you first seek medical attention and then notify your employer of your injury. You should also let your employer know that you plan on filing a worker’s compensation insurance claim.
What Do I Do If My Workers Comp Case Is Denied?
If you are denied your workers’ compensation benefits you will receive a denial letter in the mail. The letter will give you the reason(s) why you have been denied benefits as well as how long you have to file an appeal. By now it should be no secret that Workers Compensation Cases are complicated and having a board-certified workers compensation lawyer is highly advised. The next step would be scheduling a meeting with both your employer and the insurance company and try to come to some type of agreeable resolution.
Unfortunately, the appeal process can even more difficult than the original filing. If you and your lawyer are unable to come to an agreement with your employer and insurance company, a hearing will need to be scheduled with the judge. This is a very crucial process and doing so without legal representation can result in no benefits. If not represented by an attorney, the judge will expect you to know and understand workers’ compensation law.
Will I Ever Have To File a Lawsuit?
The law requires any employer who has three or more employees is required to carry workers’ compensation insurance. Unfortunately, not all employers follow this law. If this is your situation then you will need to file a lawsuit against your employer to recover, medical expenses, lost wages plus pain and suffering and in some cases, punitive damages.
