How Can Our Workers’ Compensation Specialists Help You?
From collecting valuable evidence to advocating for you, an experienced workers’ compensation attorney knows how to build a strong case for your overcompensation injury claim. Here are some ways the team at Younce, Vtipil, Baznik & Banks can help you:
- Collecting medical records and expert opinions – Your attorney will gather all relevant medical records from your treating doctors to establish a clear connection between your original injury and the overcompensation injury. They might also consult medical experts to obtain a written causation opinion explaining how the secondary injury developed.
- Coordinating with your healthcare providers – Your lawyer can communicate directly with your doctors to ensure your medical reports include key details. They might request specific documentation, such as treatment timelines, symptoms, and the impact of your altered body movements, to strengthen your claim.
- Negotiating with the insurance company – Your attorney will handle negotiations with the workers’ comp insurer and present evidence to support your claim. They will challenge any attempts by the insurance company to deny or minimize your benefits and advocate for the maximum compensation you deserve.
- Representing you at hearings or appeals – If your claim is denied or disputed, your attorney will represent you in hearings before the NCIC. They will present evidence, call witnesses, and cross-examine the insurer’s representatives to prove the validity of your claim. After the hearing, they will depose the medical experts needed to prove your claim.
