Workers Compensation
Dedicated Workers Compensation Lawyers Rochester, Minnesota
1. Miscalculation of Benefits
Insurers often miscalculate an Employee’s average weekly wage. Even a slight miscalculation of an Employee’s average weekly wage can result in a significant underpayment of benefits. There are often special considerations the Insurer ignores such as seasonal effects on an Employee’s earnings, or overtime earnings. Construction workers have a special formula for calculating their average weekly wage.
2. Factors That May Affect Your Right To Benefits
- The insurer schedules you for an independent medical evaluation;
- You have been advised that you have reached Maximum Medical Improvement;
- You are released without any restrictions by your doctor.
3. You Have The Right To
- Challenge a denial of your claim;
- Select your own healthcare provider;
- Choose your own qualified rehabilitation consultant to assist you;
- Second opinion relative to your medical condition;
- Confirm the Insurer’s average weekly wage calculation;
- Challenge an independent medical evaluation report;
- Help finding a new job;
- Help obtaining a permanent partial disability rating;
- Receive workers’ compensation benefits and Social
- Security Disability benefits simultaneously.
4. Save Everything
Documentation of any information received from your healthcare provider, your Employer, and the workers’ compensation Insurer can be very helpful.
