Helping You Understand the Basics of Workers' Comp Medical Benefits
To fully answer your questions, our medical benefits lawyers will need to know more about the specific nature of your injury. However, we can provide some basic information that is true in any case. Some of your rights as an injured worker include:
- All Delaware employers with one or more employees must carry workers' compensation insurance to provide protection for workers who suffer a workplace injury or occupational disease.
- As an injured worker, you have a right to see a doctor of your choice, but you also may need to submit to a medical examination with a doctor chosen by your employer.
- Your employer or your employer's insurance company must provide coverage for all necessary medical care as long as your injury is sufficiently work-related. Medical care may include surgery, doctor visits, medications, psychological counseling and many other forms of necessary care.
- You must notify your employer of your injury immediately. Failure to provide timely notice could result in a denial of coverage.
If you have suffered a permanent injury such as paralysis, severe back or neck injuries, brain damage, loss of limb or a severe psychological disorder, it is critical to retain an experienced workers' compensation attorney who can properly obtain permanent impairment benefits for you.
Our founding attorney, Frederick S. Freibott, has been handling workers' compensation claims on behalf of clients for more than 20 years. If you have been injured and need experienced legal representation, we can provide the quality legal representation you need.
