Proving An Injury Caused By Job. How To Qualify Workman Compensation Benefits

you suffer an injury at work or you are suffering from a health condition which is partially or fully work-related. Most injured workers take advice from their employers or their employer's insurers. That's often a serious error.

You should consult a workman's compensation lawyer when:

• You feel your employer is punishing you or retaliating against you for filing a claim
• You are denied Workers' Compensation Benefits
• Your employer asks you to submit to a medical examination by their own "expert"
• You are contacted by a Rehabilitation Counselor
• Your employer or their insurer offers to settle your claim

You should get advice on the following:

• You are considering retirement while receiving benefits
• You are asked to sign any documents you don't understand
• You were injured before June 24, 1996 and want to ensure that your claim was handled properly

Would it surprise you to learn that almost 100% of injured workers with valid claims do not receive all the benefits they are entitled to. Some workers try to handle their case themselves——or with the help of a lawyer who does not specialize in Workman's Compensation cases. This is a prescription for more headaches and greatly reduced benefits.

You are not getting all of your workman's compensation benefits when:

• Your employer suggests that you file for Group Insurance Benefits instead of Compensation Benefits
• Your employer withholds payment on your claim for any reason
• Your employer asks you to sign a Final Settlement Form
• You don't consider are applying for Social Security Benefits
• You think your injury was "your fault" but it may be the fault of your employer or a third party might be partially liable

In order for your claim to be accepted and to receive full benefits, you must file a Notice of Injury right away. You must inform your employer of two important facts: 1) That you have been injured; and 2) That your injury was caused by your job. When you give notice without delay, you reduce the likelihood of a dispute with your employer. (Ask us For Help!)
