No Benefits Weeks After Your Work Injury? Here’s Why It’s Not Normal

Video Transcript

I received a telephone call this morning from a lady who had been hurt on the job. Her injury had occurred weeks ago. She had received nothing so far. No benefits, no medical treatment. Not even a call from the adjuster. She asked me, “Is this normal?” If you don’t have an attorney, this is normal. Big insurance has learned that many people are too busy with a work injury and trying to keep their heads above water, paying bills and making payments. They know without an attorney fighting for you, you will — and most people do — give up. Give in to big insurance and simply go away.

We make sure that doesn’t happen. We make sure they start paying you weekly your checks in accordance with the law — the seven and 14 day rule — and they pay them weekly and on time. We make sure they start providing treatment to your injuries, and not just the injuries they will accept and authorize, but all your injuries. We make sure they compensate you and pay you for your injuries at the end of your case, rather than just letting them walk away. This only happens when you have skilled attorneys who work exclusively doing workers’ compensation. We are those attorneys, and we will make sure they don’t do that to you.
