It is a disappointing truth that the insurance companies, which are meant to protect injured workers, end up denying workers' compensation claims, delaying payments and terminating benefits. The reality is that insurance companies are in business to make money, and do not keep the best interests of their claimants in mind. This is where I can help. As the founding lawyer of The Law Office of Sera H. Russell III, I use my 30 plus years of experience to help workers' comp clients deal with their difficult insurance companies.
After you become injured on the job, the insurance company has legal experts working hard to protect their bottom line by minimizing the payouts to you. There are numerous tactics these companies employ to deny your claim or force you to settle for less than a fair amount.
How the Insurance Companies Work Against You
Have you experienced any of the following problems when dealing with your insurance company?
- Denied claim due to alleged pre-existing condition
- Denied claim due to allegations you were hurt off the job
- Benefits dismissed due to an insurance-assigned doctor releasing you
- Delays in medical benefits or payments
Insurance laws surrounding workers' compensation are complex. Without a qualified attorney on your side, an insurance adjuster will try to use the law against you. While there are protections for insurance companies within the law, my firm can distinguish what is fair and legal.
When you retain me as your legal counsel, the first step will be to immediately file your complaint in court. This gets the attention of the insurance agencies and lets them know that you will not be taken advantage of. Backed by years of successful outcomes, I approach the negotiating table with confidence and will accept nothing less than a fair payment of benefits and compensation on your behalf. If needed, I am fully prepared to take your case to trial to ensure you receive everything to which you are entitled.
