Workman Compensation Law Firm Lancaster, PA

Dealing with a workman compensation claim is not a quick process and, oftentimes, claimants do not receive the full financial recoveries they are entitled to.  Immediately after an accident, insurance companies will be working to minimize the amount of money they have to pay you—money you are entitled to receive.

You Need to Act Swiftly!

Due to time restrictions with workman compensation claims, it is important to understand the following:

Report the Injury Immediately – Not reporting your injury within a certain period of time means your claim could be delayed or denied.  Your report should be in writing and include specifics concerning which areas of the body were involved.  Document everything and request copies of any report your employer asks you to complete.  Add an extra measure of protection and take a phone photo of each completed page of the report.

Request the Panel List – A panel list will include workers’ compensation medical providers – from primary-care physicians to neurosurgical specialists to physical therapists.  If you choose to visit a doctor who is not on the list, however, your company is not obligated to pay for treatments unless certain circumstances are present.  Georgelis Law will be happy to answer any questions you might have regarding this.

Seek Prompt Medical Treatment – The longer the time period between your injury and the initial treatment, the more difficult it will be to have your injury deemed ‘work-related’.  Documenting your injuries and symptoms is critical to support your right to ongoing benefits through the workman compensation system.

Our Workman Compensation Law Firm is Your Potent Ally

You have enough to think about right now and worrying about how much or how little compensation you will receive shouldn’t be one of them.  Our workman compensation law firm will keep a watchful eye on your employer and its workers’ compensation attorneys.  We leave no stones unturned to ensure our Lancaster, PA clients receive every dime and every service they deserve.

Our law firm will develop a comprehensive plan to recover your benefits and compensation from every viable source – the workman compensation system, liability insurance, and/or third-party lawsuit against negligent parties.

Work-related injuries run the gamut – from neck, low-back and other spine injuries to cumulative-type and repetitive-motion trauma to loss of hearing/sight/ body part (such as fingers or toes).  Additionally, injuries can be caused by slips, trips, and falls as well as motor vehicle accidents occurring while in the course and scope of employment.

If, throughout the course of the claims process, we discover any mishandlings by the insurance company or your employer—our law firm will fight to make it right!  We will not tolerate our Lancaster, PA clients falling victim to the system through their employers, insurance companies or insurance company attorneys!

Hold Onto Your Hat!

Be aware of the following:

• The insurance company could stop paying you at any time if it fails to file a ‘Notice of Compensation Payable’.
• An inaccurate or incomplete description of your injuries, as reported by the insurance company, could limit your medical treatments.
• A ‘medical case-manager’ – aka: ‘rehab nurse’ – hired by the insurance company may 1) convince your doctor (behind your back) you can return to work, before you are ready 2) state that your work restrictions can be reduced, before they should be and 3) declare you are fully recovered, when you may not be.

Our workman compensation law firm will not put up with this kind of nonsense.  As your powerful legal advocate, we will assess your claim, investigate where your situation stands with the employer and insurance company, and inform you of all your options.

Remember…

Your employer or the insurance company does not have your best interest at heart when it comes to the money it has to pay out for your claim. From the moment you make your claim, the clock is set to see that you receive little or nothing regarding your workman compensation benefits.  You can rest easy – our law firm knows the insurance companies’ playbooks like the backs of our hands!

Employers and insurance companies know, full well, that most claimants are unaware of what Pennsylvania laws allow for when it comes to workers’ compensation claims. Even if you are receiving income-loss benefits and your medical bills are being paid, it doesn’t necessarily mean your claim is being handled appropriately.

Nurse case managers, surveillance, investigators, and ‘independent’ medical examinations represent some of the ways in which insurance companies reduce, limit, or stop your workers’ compensation benefits that are rightfully yours.  When so many people are working against you, you need a powerhouse workman compensation law firm who will work for you!

Additionally, the Lancaster County workforce does not automatically have access to legal advice and guidance throughout the workman compensation process.  This is why you benefit from our law firm being there for you – we’ll fight for every penny you deserve!

Also, as mentioned, you will never receive a bill for the time we dedicate to all the details of your case.  Only if we succeed in getting you compensated through litigation or protecting your benefits by defending you in litigation, do we receive a fee.  No fees, no worries!

At times, Lancaster County injured workers receive compensation but wait to contact a lawyer until they are faced with a Modification, Suspension, or Termination Petition filed by their employer and insurance company.  When our workman compensation law firm handles claimants’ cases as soon as an injury occurs, we make sure all parties are handing your case properly.

Our law firm will make sure your injury has been described properly with the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation.  When the employer and carrier make their moves, our lawyers will be fully ready to present your claim in a position of strength!
