Workers Compensation Claim Acceptance
"I was satisfied once John Bell took over my case."
"Communication was always timely."
In any case the Workers Compensation Insurer has 60 days to accept or deny your claim. For this reason if your doctor has restricted you from working during the 60 day waiting period, you are entitled to temporary disability benefits.
Your credibility is crucial to the survival of your claim. In many cases, the insurer will take your statement to assess the validity of your claim. Above all, be honest and accurate. Furthermore, you will be asked about prior accidents and medical care. At this point it is important that you take time to consider whether or not you have had prior accidents and any prior medical care that you have received.
All in all if your claim is accepted you will receive a Notice of Acceptance from the Workers Compensation Insurer. The Notice of Acceptance will list the conditions which the insurance company has claimed responsibility and has designated as related to the on-the-job injury. It is only these conditions that the insurance company will pay to treat. If your doctor restricts you from working, your will recieve temporary disability payments. You should receive these payments every two weeks and they should equal 66% of your average weekly wage.
