What Benefits Can I Recover Through Workers’ Compensation?

Because workplace injuries can take a significant toll on your health and well-being, workers’ compensation offers several benefits to compensate injured workers for their losses. These benefits include medical coverage for current and future treatments, surgeries, and medications. Additionally, wage replacement benefits are available if your injuries prevent you from performing your job duties while you heal. The amount you receive depends on the severity of your injury and its impact on your ability to work. Vocational rehabilitation benefits may also be provided, covering training for another vocation if you cannot return to your previous industry after being injured.

You may be eligible for other benefits depending on the nature of your injuries and the circumstances surrounding your claim. A Hasner Law attorney can review your case to determine the benefits you may be eligible to recover.

What to Do if Your Workers’ Compensation Claim Is Denied

A denial of your workers’ compensation claim can be stressful, but it doesn’t mean you’re out of options. Here’s how a Hasner Law attorney can help you appeal the decision and secure the benefits you deserve:

  • Review the Denial Letter: Your attorney will identify specific reasons for the denial and address any issues.
  • Gather Additional Evidence: We will collect medical records, witness statements, and accident reports to support your claim.
  • File an Appeal: An attorney will handle the appeal process, including filing necessary forms within the required deadlines.
  • Provide Expert Guidance: Your attorney will offer advice and representation during hearings and negotiations.
  • Attend the Hearing: We will present your case, using evidence and testimonies to argue for a reversal of the denial.
  • Follow-Up: If needed, your attorney will advise on further appeals to ensure you pursue all entitled benefits.

By enlisting the help of a skilled Hasner Law attorney, you can effectively challenge a claim denial and work towards obtaining the benefits you need. If your claim has been denied, contact Hasner Law for a comprehensive review and expert guidance through the appeals process.
