Attorney Representation in Workers' Compensation Cases
Hiring an experienced lawyer is crucial to the success of your workers' compensation case. Even if your employer's workers' compensation insurance carrier is willing to settle, it is essential to make sure you understand your rights. Many health insurance companies, such as BlueCross BlueShield (BC/BS), are aggressively pursuing repayment from settlements for the payments they made on medical bills.
Likewise, if there is any potential that you may file for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits in the future, this should be considered when settling your work injury case. The Social Security Administration is now demanding that there be a Workers Compensation Medical Set Aside (WCMSA) portion of your settlement. Essentially, a portion of your recovery is set aside specifically for the purpose of paying future work injury related medical bills that may otherwise be paid by Social Security.
Without an experienced workers' compensation lawyer on your side, these issues may never surface - costing you significantly.
