Generally, the workers’ compensation process follows the outline below:
- You must report your on-the-job injury to your employer in a timely manner. We can help make sure that you give proper notification before time runs out.
- Your employer may request an injury report.
- You will go to the doctor’s office. While receiving medical care, you must be upfront with the staff that you are seeking care for a work-related injury under workers’ compensation.
- In an ideal situation, at this point the employer will pay workers’ compensation benefits, and you can start on the path to recovery.
- If, however, the employer disputes your claim or the adjuster denies your claim, a trial may be necessary.
- We compile your medical records, get the opinion of medical experts and prepare all other documents and exhibits needed for trial.
- If the employer does not offer a reasonable settlement, we go to court and stand up for your rights under the workers’ compensation laws.
To make sure that the workers’ compensation process goes as smoothly as possible for you, it is vital to contact an attorney immediately after you are injured and to inform your employer of your injury.
