You have important legal rights regarding your workers’ compensation claim! Do not depend on your employer or insurance company to fully explain everything to you because they probably won’t. Some of these rights you are entitled to may include the following:
★ You may select the physician of your choosing from the employer’s list of doctors. You may also make a one time change to another physician on this list without the approval of the employer or insurance company. We can properly guide you in this selection.
★ Immediate medical treatment for your injury at the employer’s expense.
★ You are entitled to mileage reimbursement if you use your personal vehicle for transportation to and from the doctor, physical therapy, the pharmacy etc. If this is not timely paid, you are entitled to penalties as well. We can help you get the reimbursement you are entitled to. If you do not have transportation for the necessary doctor’s appointments you are entitled to transportation being provided to you by the insurance company.
★ If you are not receiving your weekly checks (Temporary Total Disability benefits) in a timely manner you may be entitled to late penalties. We can research and seek to obtain these penalties for you.
★ The employer can not suspend your weekly checks without following specific guidelines. We can research to see if the legal requirements necessary to stop benefits have been properly followed.
★ If you have received a weekly check within the last 120 days you are entitled to an Independent Medical Evaluation (IME) by a doctor of your choice not on the company’s list of doctor’s. This is important as it may provide important additional medical information about your injury and how it can be treated. We can help you select the proper physician for your IME.
