Common Mistakes in a Workers’ Comp Claim | Reporting an Injury Too Late

A question that comes up a lot with clients is, “Can your claim be denied if you don’t file a claim in time?” The insurance company can deny your claim, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have a claim. You can file a claim with the Department of Industrial Accidents and bring your claim before a judge. The judge will decide whether or not your claim needs to be paid. It’s best to contact a workers’ compensation lawyer and discuss with them what you need to do to get your claim filed.

Common Mistakes in a Workers’ Comp Claim | Not Seeing a Doctor Immediately

I got a call from a gentleman the other day who was in the union and he wanted to know if he would have to see a company doctor on a workers’ compensation injury claim. Under Massachusetts workers’ compensation law in most cases, you don’t have to go to a particular doctor or a company doctor. There are some situations where unions will make agreements that you see their doctor first, but that’s the exception to the rule. If you have questions, you should speak to a workers’ compensation attorney who handles workers’ comp in Massachusetts, to get the answers to those questions.

Avoiding these mistakes that will make a claim difficult is your first step to receiving workers’ compensation. We can handle the rest. Contact the Law Office of Jeffrey A. Young today to schedule a free consultation with our experienced Massachusetts workers’ compensation lawyers.

Don’t Wait. Insurers only have 14 days to pay or deny your claim. Learn how to improve your chances of having your claim approved.

I’ve worked with Attorney Young on several cases and found him to be extremely knowledgeable, effective, and compassionate toward clients.

Attorney Jeffrey Young and his team have been incredible throughout my workmans comp claim. Jeff achieved the best possible outcome for me and I cannot express how appreciative I am. My emails and calls were answered, all my concerns were taken care of. I felt like someone was on my side, standing up for me and against a really tough insurance company. I highly recommend this firm for any workers comp and personal injury. Very professional, caring and Jeff is dedicated to helping people. I would give this law firm 10 stars but only allowed 5.
