When there is a dispute in a Workers’ Compensation case the injured worker is often made to feel as if she is the problem.
The insurance company adjuster blames you failing to report the accident right away, or for hurting yourself outside of work, or he tells you that your doctor is not treating you properly.
The problem is not with you.
The insurance company is protecting their interests.
You have to make sure that you are doing what protects your interests.
This means that you have to challenge the adjuster.
You have to be prepared to go to trial.
This will force the insurance company to hire a lawyer, and hire a doctor to testify on their behalf.
If you do not do this the insurance company will ignore you and your case will be over.
The only way to show that your case is not weak and that you are not the bad guy is to have the arbitrator make a decision and force the Workers’ Compensation insurance company to pay you and pay for your medical bills.
Make sure that you have an experienced Workers’ Compensation Attorney to help you out.
