The Help You Need Obtaining Workers’ Compensation Benefits

The workers’ compensation system is meant to be a tremendous benefit for workers who are injured or stricken ill on the job. It provides compensation for medical expenses and lost wages. However, there are numerous roadblocks and challenges for someone seeking workers’ compensation benefits. Many people are denied the benefits they need.

Navigating A Complicated System

There are numerous steps along the way to obtaining your benefits:

  1. Reporting your injuries: As soon as you have been injured, it is critical to let your employer know right away. Find your company’s injury-reporting procedures and follow them to the letter.
  2. Obtaining a medical report: Most employers will send you to their preferred medical care providers for your initial injury assessment. However, employers usually prefer doctors who are likely to underestimate workers’ injuries so that claims can be denied or minimized. You have the legal right to obtain another medical opinion from the doctor of your choice. Make sure you do, as this could be the difference in obtaining adequate benefits.
  3. Filing your claim: The initial claim is critical. You have to fill out the forms in a certain way and include the appropriate medical language to eliminate any adequate reasons for denying your claim. Administrative errors in the initial claim filing cause many of the denied claims that arise.
  4. Appeals: If your claim is denied, there are numerous layers of appeal that you can follow. An experienced workers’ compensation lawyer can help you through the appellate process.

You should not try to handle any of these steps alone. I have the knowledge and experience to walk you through the entire process of obtaining your workers’ compensation benefits.
