When you have been injured on the job, how do you know when you should hire Workers’ Compensation attorney (“workmans comp attorney”) on your side?
When you have a Workers’ Compensation injury, you need an experienced Workers’ Compensation attorney fighting for you as quickly as possible. There are many reasons that you should have a Workers’ Compensation lawyer on your side when you are injured at work.
The most important reason to hire a Workers’ Compensation attorney to review your case is to make sure that you are receiving all of the benefits you deserve and that the insurance company and your employer are correctly doing what should be done.
In many cases, the insurance company is or has done something that violates your rights.
For example, when you are injured at work your employer and/or your employer’s Workers’ Compensation insurance carrier should notify you with a written document whether your injury has been accepted as a work-related injury, what injury was accepted, and what you will be paid while you are off from work.
The document is called a Notice of Compensation Payable or Notice of Temporary Compensation Payable. The Notice of Compensation Payable binds the insurance carrier to pay for your medical bills that are related to the injury listed on the form and binds the insurance company to pay you the wage rate indicated on the form. The Notice of Temporary Compensation Payable only pays for your medical bills and wages for up to 90 days unless it converts. During the 90-day period of the insurance company may deny your claim, without warning to you.
What do I do if my Workers Compensation claim is denied in Pennsylvania?
Many people ask, “should I appeal my Workers Compensation denial?” If the Workers’ Compensation insurance company does not accept your claim you should be provided with at timely denial, which would be called a Notice of Workers Compensation Denial. However, on many occasions, your employer or the Workers’ Compensation insurance carrier fails to provide you with this documentation. This failure can cause you confusion and uncertainty as to whether your claim is being properly handled or handled at all. Also, in many instances, even if documentation about your work injury is sent to you, the description of your Workers’ Compensation injury or your wage rate may not be accurate. If you are injured at work and you did not receive documentation about your Workers’ Compensation injury or the documentation you received is not correct regarding your Workers’ Compensation wage or injury description, you should contact a Workers’ Compensation attorney at RG Injury Law for a free consultation of your Workers’ Compensation case and your Workers’ Compensation rights
