Your Right to Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ compensation insurance is available to those who are hurt while working or performing work-related activities. You’ve paid into this social safety net of sorts throughout the years. If you’re injured on the job, now is the time you get your money’s worth. You deserve compensation for your workplace injury, related medical bills, lost wages, pain, suffering and other losses. Even occupational diseases tied to your workplace activities will qualify you for benefits.

Legal Guidance for a Successful Workers’ Compensation Claim

Schibell Law will guide you through the claims process to maximize your chances of approval. If your claim is denied, there is no reason to panic. The appeals process is available to obtain compensation. In fact, it might even be possible to obtain more benefits than previously awarded.

Above all, our legal team will prevent a situation in which the insurance company or employer takes advantage of your legal right to compensation. Too many injured workers walk away with a settlement agreement that seems favorable yet does not cover the full extent of related costs as the years progress. Our workers’ compensation legal team is here to ensure you are provided with the money you need to cover all associated costs.

Maximizing Your Payout After the Workplace Injury

If you are injured at work, you will likely have to take time off and be tended to by medical professionals. Making matters worse is the fact that the insurance company or employer can fight your claim. If your claim is denied, you might find yourself hurt, missing income and dealing with exorbitant medical bills. There is no way to know how much your injury will cost you in the years ahead.

Our workers’ compensation attorneys have handled all sorts of injury cases in the past. We know exactly what constitutes a fair offer considering the unique circumstances of each injury. This is the protection you need against the pitfall of accepting the insurance company’s initial offer(s) that seems awfully tempting when the post-injury bills are piling up. In fact, your workers’ compensation attorney might even be able to help you budget for medical expenses, lost income and a possible settlement payout for the years ahead. This is the comprehensive assistance you need to bounce back after your work injury.

Treatment From the Proper Physicians

Most employers and insurance companies rely on certain medical providers for healthcare. Such doctors are likely to be respectable, yet the bottom line is they are working for the insurance provider. This is not the objective doctor you need for a post-injury medical analysis. Our workers’ compensation attorneys will push for an independent medical examination (IME) conducted by an unbiased medical professional likely to understand the nuances of your injury. Aside from providing an objective analysis of your situation, the right doctor will also help you obtain the medical care necessary to return to maximum medical improvement (MMI) as soon as possible.

The Push for Permanent Benefits

Some workplace injuries render employees incapable of working. If you cannot work, you might be provided with permanent total disability benefits. Our legal team is here to fiercely advocate on your behalf at claim hearings against the employer and insurance company representatives. If it is determined you are entitled to this form of disability benefit, you will be provided with weekly benefits for the remainder of your life. Depending on the circumstances of your case, it might be possible to obtain a permanent total disability payout right away.

Additional Benefits From Workplace Injuries

The last thing you should have to worry about after your work injury is interacting with the insurance company, your employer and opposing counsel. Let our attorneys speak on your behalf while you maintain your focus on rebuilding your body. In fact, correspondence on letterhead from our office just might be enough to get the insurance company to take your claim more seriously.

If you have to miss work for even a couple days or require a surgery for an injury caused by work, you need a savvy workers’ compensation attorney in your corner. We are here for those hurt at work, those receiving or applying for benefits, those targeted by employers for termination after injury and everyone else dealing with work-related pain.
