Understanding Workers’ Compensation Benefits
Workers’ compensation is a critical safety net for employees who suffer injuries or illnesses. It provides necessary medical care, wage replacement, and other benefits to help injured workers recover and return to work. However, the process of receiving these benefits can sometimes be delayed, causing additional stress and hardship. At The Law Offices of T. Andrew Miller, we understand these challenges and are here to help you navigate the system.
Common Causes of Delayed Treatment/Approval
Delays in workers’ compensation benefits can happen for several reasons. Some common causes include:
Incomplete or Incorrect Paperwork:
Mistakes in the paperwork can slow down the approval process.
Disputes Over the Injury:
Employers or insurance companies might dispute the nature or extent of the injury.
Insurance Company Delays:
Sometimes, insurance companies take longer than necessary to process claims.
Medical Evaluations:
Waiting for independent medical evaluations can also cause delays.
Delayed treatment can have serious consequences for injured workers. Without timely medical care, injuries can worsen, leading to longer recovery times and more severe health issues. Additionally, delayed approval of benefits means workers might need help to cover medical bills and living expenses during their recovery period.
