Denied Workers' Compensation Claim Attorney in Kansas City, MO

Denied Workers' Compensation Claim Overview

If you have suffered a serious work injury, the workers’ compensation insurance carrier may offer you a settlement at some point in the process. Before you accept any offer, you should talk to an experienced lawyer. You only have one opportunity to settle your claim.

Should I Settle My Workers’ Compensation Claim?

A work-related injury can be a very complex issue to understand and resolve. What does a 5 percent permanent partial disability rating mean? How much money will you need to cover future medical expenses? How will your future earnings be affected by your injury?

The adjuster is almost certain to make a lowball estimate of what your injury is worth. Attempting to negotiate with the insurance company on your own could cost you thousands of dollars. It usually takes an experienced attorney to help you obtain the maximum amount of compensation you are due.

It’s important not to rush into a settlement just because the insurance company wants to make you an offer. The insurance company has a financial interest to resolve your case quickly for the least amount of money. If you think you need more medical treatment, you should wait until you reach what is known as maximum medical improvement. If you and your doctor do not agree on whether you need additional medical treatment, our lawyers can help you obtain an independent medical examination.
