Workers Compensation Benefits in Seaford

Understanding what work comp benefits are available to injured workers in Delaware is important. You need to be able to plan your finances while you’re recovering. Your Seaford work comp attorney will investigate your accident, prepare your case, document your injuries, and file your claim.

Here’s a look at the workers comp benefits available to injured workers:

  • Medical treatment, including rehabilitation services
  • Temporary disability payments
  • Compensation for a permanent injury
  • Death benefits to the family of a worker who is killed on the job

What if Your Seaford Work Comp Claim Is Denied?

There are procedures in place to protect injured workers, but there are also laws that protect the employer and the employer’s workman’s comp insurance company from fraudulent claims. Imagine if every claim ever made to an insurance company were paid—the insurer would likely go out of business.

However, that shouldn’t cause insurance companies to deny legitimate claims like yours. A few common reasons claims are denied are listed below:

  • Failure to submit the claim in a timely manner
  • Failure to complete the paperwork properly
  • Failure to undergo an independent medical examination as directed
  • Failure to provide evidence of your accident or your injury

A work comp attorney in Seaford can help you identify the reason for the denial and either help you file an appeal or take your claim to court, depending on the circumstances.

Insurance companies aren’t always reasonable, and you better believe they don’t want to hand over their money. They see your payout as a direct hit to their profits, rather than seeing it as the money you need to provide for yourself while recovering from an on-the-job injury.

A qualified attorney from our firm will remind them that workers compensation benefits are meant to be there for injured workers. We will help you get the benefits you need, and if you’ve already been denied, we’ll file an appeal or take your claim to court if we have to.
