Workmen's Comp Injuries Libertyville, IL

Workmen’s Comp Injuries

States across the nation have been restructuring their workers’ compensation systems, with disastrous consequences for many of the hundreds of thousands of people, who annually suffer mild, to moderate, to serious injuries in the workplace.

In some states, the cuts have been so drastic that injured workers have suffered substantial financial burdens. In other states, workers spend years battling insurance companies for the surgeries, prescriptions costs and basic help which their doctors recommend. Lofty promises by ‘sympathetic’ attorneys, regarding substantial compensation “for your pain and suffering”, rarely occur unless you have been maimed, disfigured or suffer the loss of neurological or musculoskeletal functioning.

The Guidelines for Payment of a Work Injury Rehab Program

First of all, the physical therapy treatment needs to be ordered by your treating physician, and the insurance company must give approval. If you don’t get approval for work injury rehab, there are some steps you can take to get the treatment approved.

  • Ask the doctor’s office to file a Form WC-205 requesting approval
  • File a Form WC-PMT to get treatment approved
  • Request a hearing in front of a judge to get approval
  • Get a worker’s compensation attorney
