What is the Workers’ Comp Claims Process?
- We must provide evidence the accident occurred during work hours, while completing work tasks. Get medical care for the injury as soon as possible. Failing to do so may make it more difficult to connect the injury to the work-related accident.
What information is needed to get a claim approved?
- You must provide the employer with proper notice of the injury within 30 days of the accident. If you have not done so, notify your employer right away.
Our legal team is familiar with the workers’ compensation claims process and we will work on your behalf to file a well-supported claim and fight back if your employer or the workers’ compensation insurer denied your claim or does not give you the benefits you deserve.
Filing an Appeal
Many factors can lead to a rejected workers’ compensation claim. In some cases, the application might be missing important information. If your claim was denied, we work to appeal your claim so you get you the benefits you deserve.
Assisting You with Any Additional Legal Actions
In some cases, further legal action may be required. If a party other than your employer caused your accident, you may be able to file a third-party lawsuit separate from a workers’ compensation claim.
A third-party lawsuit may allow you to recover the full amount of your damages. Third parties that may be liable for a work accident include property owners, third-party drivers, subcontractors, and more.
We will work to investigate the accident, establish fault, and collect compensation from the responsible party.
