Workers' Compensation Attorney in Selma
Make sure you receive the benefits you deserve.
When you are injured at work or become ill due to conditions related to
the workplace, you can file a workers' compensation claim in order
to have any medical bills covered by the insurance as well as any wage
losses. That does not mean, however, that your claim is automatically
accepted. Even if it is, the workers' compensation process can be
complicated.
At the Law Offices of Bryan K. Leiser in Selma, we represent individuals
who have suffered physical or mental harm due to work-related conditions
and need help receiving the compensation they deserve to defray medical
costs and possible wage losses. We only handle workers' compensation
cases, and decades of this experience makes our firm highly qualified
to help anyone, from simple to very complex claims.
Why would my workers' comp claim be denied?
A frequent reason for a
denial of workers' compensation is that the incident wasn't reported to the supervisor within 30 days
and/or it was filed with the insurance company too late. Additionally,
it could be denied because the company you work for feels your injury
was not work related. It's also possible that the insurance company
does not allow your particular type of injury or illness. For example,
claims of stress related to work are sometimes not covered. Your employer
may also feel that your injury does not warrant a claim because it's
not serious enough.
Any of these and other reasons for denials could take a different turn
if you retain the help of a qualified Selma workers' compensation
attorney. You, the claimant, basically have the burden to prove your claim,
and we know what is required to do that.

A serious injury or illness related to work could have a devastating effect
on your future. The insurance company will generally do all it can to
minimize how much it pays to an injured worker. This can mean that necessary
treatment may be cut short, or less effective treatment is approved, which
slows or halts a recovery that would otherwise be accomplished with better
treatment.
You do have rights as an employee, and your employer also has responsibilities.
Our representation protects your rights and seeks to make sure you receive the best
compensation settlement possible for your injury.
