The Workers' Compensation Maze
You have heard about Workers' Compensation, and you always assumed the money would be there if you were hurt and unable to work; however, unfortunately for many families, the administrative process can take too much time and let you down when you need it most. In fact, a staggering percentage of all Workers' Compensation claims are denied, and the appeals process can be even more confusing and cost you time and money you do not have.
Rights of Injured Workers
Most injured workers are unaware of all of their inherent rights. Cohen & Dwin can be a valuable resource by helping families understand and apply their rights in the most aggressive way. Here are just a few of the rights which injured workers are entitled to:
- You have the right to “reasonable and necessary” medical care
- You have the right to pertinent medical care for as long as necessary as mandated by your illness or injury
- You have the right to choose your physician
- You have the right to hire a lawyer to help you achieve benefits
- You have the right to keep the details of your injury and workers' compensation claims confidential
- You have the right to compensation of at least 2/3 of your lost income
- In cases where you are unable to perform previous job duties, you have the right to job search and/or job training assistance.
