There are many types of workers’ compensation claims and the process is complicated. We will help you decide on the right petition for your circumstance and file your claim successfully. Here are some types to consider:
- Loss of Wages Petition – Requests compensation payments for missed work time, or inability to continue to perform at work due to partial or total disability.
- Scar Petition – Requests compensation payments for one or more scars to the head, face, or neck.
- Specific Loss Petition – Requests compensation payments for loss of a limb or other body part, or loss of use of a body part.
- Reinstatement Petition – If your claim is in suspended status (you do not receive wage loss benefits but you are receiving medical benefits for your injury), one of our experienced workers’ compensation attorneys can help you file a reinstatement petition to allow you to begin receiving wage loss benefits again. The insurance company will not advise you of this. They may even tell you that your claim is closed, when in fact, it is not.
- Lump Sum Settlement – You may receive an offer from the insurance carrier to settle your case for a lump sum of money. Get the legal opinion of an experienced workers’ compensation attorney before accepting such an offer. Many insurance companies will attempt to offer only a fraction of the compensation deserved.
