The Workers' Compensation Claims Process
In the first 90 days after you file a claim, you will be required to go to an approved physician for your treatment, often referred to as a "panel provider" or "panel physician". This aspect of the process is skewed in favor of the employer, making it important to have an attorney on your side as early on in the process as possible. Employers will often use medical evaluations from these favored physicians to browbeat employees into going back to work before they are able. From your initial treatment and hearings until the final resolution, we will make sure you understand your rights at every step of the process.
The Importance of Not Making a Recorded Statement
One of the pitfalls many injured workers fall into is giving a recorded statement to the insurance adjuster or their employer. Employers often use these statements against employees, looking for anything that may be inconsistent with future statements. Before talking to anyone from the insurance company or making any statements, contact us today to speak with an attorney.
