Understanding How Workers’ Compensation Claims Work
The Michigan workers’ compensation system should protect you when you suffer an injury on the job. Unfortunately, insurers often deny valid claims or cut off benefits too soon. This is where our workers’ compensation attorneys step in. A critical early issue is your choice of doctor. We will help you understand your rights regarding treatment providers. The insurance company will also require you to attend an Independent Medical Examination (IME). We prepare you for this exam, which the insurer often uses to challenge your claim.
If needed, we challenge improper denials and benefit cuts before a workers’ compensation magistrate. For Livonia cases, hearings often take place in a nearby venue. As your work injury attorney in Livonia, we prepare your case thoroughly to prove you deserve benefits.
Serving The Six Mile And I-275 Corridors
Our office is local to Livonia, situated near I-275 and Six Mile Road. We know the industrial heart of our community. We understand the high risks faced by employees along the I-96 and Schoolcraft freight corridors. This area is home to major employers such as:
- Amazon
- Ford
- Roush
- ZF
- Trinity Health Livonia Hospital
- Livonia Public Schools (LPS)
Manufacturing and logistics workers often suffer back injuries, rotator cuff tears or carpal tunnel syndrome. Health care employees at facilities such as Trinity Health often face lifting injuries or slip-and-falls. Our long history in Livonia gives us deep insight into these jobs and the injuries they cause.
Do I Have To See The Employer’s Doctor?
Your employer may direct you to an initial clinic or physician. This visit is usually mandatory for a workers’ compensation claim. However, you have the right to choose your own physician after the first 28 days. We will review your specific situation and help you transition your care to a doctor you trust.
What Benefits Can Workers’ Compensation Provide In Michigan?
Workers’ compensation covers essential benefits you need after a work injury. Examples of covered benefits include:
- Lost wages
- Medical benefits
- Hospital stays
- Prescription medication
- Vocational rehabilitation
The system can also cover mileage for travel to your medical visits. Furthermore, there are benefits for certain permanent injuries.
What If My Claim Is Denied Or My Checks Stop?
If the insurance company or TPA denies your workers’ compensation claim or terminates your benefits, you have the right to challenge their decisions. Our team can file an application for a hearing before a magistrate. Then, we request and review all medical and vocational records. We prepare you for any IME or deposition. We will push aggressively to obtain all the benefits you deserve.
