Costly Workers’ Compensation Errors
Most Iowa workers are protected by their employer’s workers’ compensation insurance policy in the event of a workplace accident. This can be vital to ensuring that an injured worker has access to necessary medical care without having to worry about the cost. Unfortunately, both the insurance company and your employer have a financial incentive to deny claims or to limit the benefits paid.
When your claim has been unfairly delayed or denied, experienced legal assistance can help you pursue the compensation you need. Contact the Des Moines workers’ compensation lawyers of LaMarca & Landry, P.C. at 877-327-2600 to discuss your case.
Preventable Problems
Every workers’ compensation claim faces an uphill battle from the start, even if only on account of the tremendous disparity in knowledge about the process that divides workers from those who evaluate their claims. Because of the financial implications, insurers will look for any reason that they can find to avoid approval of a claim. Some of the issues that could lead to a needless delay or denial of your claim may be:
- Procedural errors in the filing of paperwork
- Failure to adequately report the incident
- Failure to file within the legally established time constraints
- Choosing treatment from an unapproved physician
- Refusing to accept light duty
If you have been hurt on the job, then it is important that understand what your legal rights are. Consulting with a skilled and experienced Des Moines workers’ compensation attorney can help you to avoid committing errors that could cause you to unwittingly sacrifice your right to workers’ compensation benefits.
