Dealing With the Insurance Carrier

Know Your Rights When Dealing With the Carrier

One of the stressful aspects of suffering a work injury is dealing with the workers’ compensation insurance carrier. Many adjusters are kind and skilled in handling the claims. They do work for the insurance company but remain professional. Unfortunately, some adjusters forget that you did not ask to be injured. When you need help with something, you can’t get anyone to talk to you, or they are rude. We frequently are told our clients were made to feel they were being treated like a number. This is where we can help.

You may not be able to get through to the workers’ compensation insurance carrier, but you can get through to us. We are the law firm of DiCesare, Davidson & Barker. Since 1994, we have been standing up for the rights of injured workers in Lakeland, Haines City and throughout Central Florida. We will stand up for you.

What Is the Workers’ Comp Insurance Carrier Doing Wrong?

Our lawyers take great care to find out what an insurance carrier is doing wrong and take steps to make things right. Frequently, we find that the issue is not the insurance carrier’s fault at all, but a problem of communication between the employer and the carrier. Other times, there are more clear violations.

In most case, the problem is simply a lack of response. You may call the carrier about appointments or X-rays you need to have scheduled or about the amount of money you’re getting for wage benefits and nobody has answers for you. You call about issues with your doctor and you can’t get any answers. Sometimes, there are delays, during which you are just waiting. Our lawyers can help you sort things out as quickly as possible.

What We Can Do to Fix It

We have a great deal of experience working with employers and insurance carriers in workers’ comp cases. In fact, our law firm features lawyers who are Board Certified in Civil Trial Law and Board Certified in Workers’ Compensation.

Board Certified in Civil Trial Law and in Workers’ Compensation: What does Board Certification mean? It means that an attorney is one of the very few who has met the high standards of excellence required to achieve this title. Only a small percentage of attorneys are Board Certified.
