Hurt in More Places Than They’re Treating? Why Insurance Companies Do This

Video Transcript

We are often asked when meeting with someone, “I got hurt on the job, and I have multiple injuries that are hurting me, but the insurance company only seems to be focused on one injury. Is this normal?” If you don’t have an attorney with 20 years plus experience in the legal field, this is normal. Chances are, when you were injured, you hurt more than just one single body part. Perhaps you fell and injured your knee and also your low back. But for some reason, the insurance is only providing treatment to the knee despite your multiple requests for them to look at your back. Maybe you lifted something at work and felt a pop in your shoulder and pain in your neck. But the company urgent care facility they sent you to is only focused on the shoulder. They won’t listen to your complaints of pain in your neck or numbness going down your arm.

All of this is designed by the insurance company to minimize their risk and to keep their costs down. What they aren’t telling you is that the more body parts that are injured, it means greater exposure for them and a larger recovery for you on your case. So big insurance handles this by simply ignoring your other injuries and requiring their designated company doctors to do the same.

Having us as your attorneys ensures that you will be heard and all of your injuries will be treated. If they won’t do it, we will send you to our team of trusted physicians who take the time to listen to you, examine all of your injuries, and provide the proof that will be needed to win your case before a judge. We make the insurance companies do the right thing, no matter how much it costs them, to ensure that you get the care you need to get you back to work and providing again for your family as soon as possible.
