Three Reasons Why Workers Should Hire A Workers' Compensation Lawyer

Workers should almost always consider hiring a lawyer after being hurt on the job. This is to prevent the insurance company from taking advantage of you. There are many areas where an insurance company will try to violate your rights, but insurance companies use three main tactics to gain an advantage.

1. Insurance Companies Routinely Don’t Send Weekly Checks

Despite legal requirements to the contrary, insurance companies routinely don’t send weekly checks on time, or they “forget” to send them at all. This makes it very hard for workers to pay their bills and jeopardizes their credit. We will stay on top of the insurance company and make sure your checks arrive as required by law, and if necessary, we seek penalties for late payments.

2. The Insurance Company Will Try to Pick Your Doctors For You

The insurance company will try to pick your doctors for you, often sending you to the same company doctors they send other injured workers. In doing this, the insurance company will tell you that you have the absolute right to direct your medical treatment. This is not necessarily true, and we will ensure that you are seen by skilled, well-trained physicians and get all of the medical treatment you need.

3. The Insurance Company Will Force You Back to Work

If you can’t return to your old job after you’ve completed your medical treatment, the insurance company will hire someone to find you a new job. The insurance company does this because they must continue paying you benefits until you return to work. In locating a job for you, the insurance company doesn’t care what job they find. They don’t care if the job pays you anything close to what you earned before you were injured or how close it is to your home. They just want to get you back to work.

We will get involved in this process on your behalf and make sure that you are not taken advantage of and that any job located for you is within your limitations and pays you a fair wage.
