Why Is My Medical Care Getting Delayed | Workers' Compensation

Episode 138: Kentucky workers’ compensation attorney Jeff Roberts answers the question, “Why is my medical care getting delayed?” There are many reasons why this might happen. But with almost 34 years of experience, Jeff understands how to minimize and possibly avoid delays for injured workers. If you been injured on the job, you should be covered by your employer’s workers’ comp policy. Medical treatment is a significant part of the benefits you deserve. Under workers’ compensation, there are no co-pays or deductibles. Unfortunately, there are times during which delays can occur. This doesn’t mean the treatment is getting denied. Rather, something may be going on in the case that doesn’t seem to makes sense. That’s when having an experienced workers’ comp attorney can resolve the delay and enable you to receive the treatment you need. The law gives the insurance company time to investigate your injury and to determine that it was, in fact, work-related. It may be a situation in which your employer hasn’t notified the insurance company in a timely manner. This process may result in a delay in getting your workers’ comp file setup and assigning a representative to handle your workers’ comp claim. Jeff offers free, initial consultations to ensure you have the information you need to decide your best options. We hope you found this episode insightful and helpful. Thank you for listening!
