How do I get medical care?

Charlotte, North Carolina, Lawyers Handling Work Related Injury Claims

Workers' compensation is intended to serve as a safety net for injured workers and as protection for employers when employees have been hurt at work. All too often, injured workers run into medical care challenges from workers' compensation insurance carriers.

At The Bollinger Law Firm, P.C., in Charlotte, North Carolina, we help clients avoid difficulties with medical care after a work injury. Our attorneys are very familiar with the tactics used by insurance companies to avoid paying medical expenses for injured workers. Rest assured, we will fight to secure the benefits you deserve, even if your medical claim was initially denied. We are also experienced with the Industrial Commission's Medical Motion procedure used when cases are accepted but medical care is disputed.

We are Ready to Fight for Your Benefits

Workers' compensation insurers are businesses. As such, they will do all they can to keep costs low and protect their bottom line. Since medical care expenses make up the majority of most workers' compensation expenses, insurers will often minimize payouts.

Common tactics of insurers can include:

Not approving care and treatment that is recommended by your attending physician
Delaying payment of medical expenses, which sometime results in a delay in care and treatment
Attempting to force your group medical insurer to pay for medical care related to a workplace injury
Denying payment of justified claims
Not responding to calls, letters or e-mails

At The Bollinger Law Firm, P.C., we find these tactics intolerable. We are not afraid to stand up to the largest of adversaries, and will do what is necessary to help our clients secure the medical care they deserve.

Taking Proactive Measures After a Workplace Accident

In addition to securing the assistance of an experienced attorney, getting a prompt medical evaluation may be important to your workers' compensation claim. When you demonstrate that you have taken all advisable actions to help yourself, your claim for medical care compensation may be strengthened in the eyes of workers' compensation insurers.
