After being hurt at work, the last thought on many injured workers’ minds is making sure their workers’ compensation claim is not delayed. For many hurt individuals, it can be a shock to receive a letter stating a claim has been delayed. Unfortunately, it is not rare for employers and insurance companies to delay workers’ compensation benefits based on unsubstantial claims.
Seriously injured individuals who have been delayed benefits can attempt to clarify the facts surrounding the circumstance in question. However, as simple as it may seem to clarify the facts surrounding your incident, it can be very difficult to negotiate with an employer or insurance company without the representation of an experienced attorney in San Diego at the Mitchell Law Corporation.
If an insurer asks you to sign a settlement or give a recorded statement, please do not sign any paperwork or talk to an insurance agent without consulting our ethical legal team first. You are not legally required to sign a settlement or give a recorded statement. The statements you provide may be “twisted” and used against you by insurance companies trying to prevent paying you what you deserve. Signing a medical authorization document or any other type of document may prevent you from recovering benefits and additional types of financial compensation.
