Why You Need an Expert Workers’ Compensation Attorney

The path to securing your workers’ compensation benefits is fraught with legal complexities and opposition from insurance companies. These entities often employ tactics aimed at minimizing or outright denying your claim. They may question the severity of your injury or argue that it’s unrelated to your work. To counter these challenges effectively, it’s imperative to have a seasoned team of attorneys like PLBH, who are committed to advocating on your behalf.

The Importance of Early Legal Assistance

Involving an experienced attorney early in the claim process can significantly impact the strength of your case. At PLBH, we understand the critical elements of a robust claim and how to compile this information effectively. Our team ensures you receive appropriate medical evaluation and treatment, while handling all the necessary paperwork on your behalf.

Overcoming Claim Denials

It’s not uncommon for workers’ compensation claims to be denied for various reasons, from questions about employment status to lack of medical evidence. Each case is unique, but PLBH is skilled in navigating these challenges. We can request hearings and go to trial to contest denials, striving to secure a judge’s decision in your favor.

Securing Temporary Disability Benefits

Obtaining Temporary Disability benefits requires clear medical evidence of your inability to work. Insurance companies often resist paying these benefits, especially if treatment occurs outside their Medical Provider Network. PLBH can assist in navigating these obstacles, ensuring you receive the support you need during your recovery.

Accessing Medical Treatment

Gaining access to necessary medical treatment is another common hurdle in workers’ compensation cases. Insurance companies frequently stall or deny authorization for treatment. PLBH is adept at working through these barriers, from identifying the appropriate Medical Provider Network to securing the required authorizations for your treatment.

When Treatment Authorization is Denied

The refusal of treatment authorization is a significant issue, with roughly 90% of such requests being denied by insurance companies. For accepted claims, PLBH can guide you through the Independent Medical Review process, aiming to overturn these denials and secure the treatment you need.
