Knowing more about the process and what you will face can help ensure you are not being forced back into work before you are truly ready. Read about your rights here.
I’ve been notified that my benefits are at risk.
Did your insurance company notify you that they intend to stop, suspend or reduce your benefits? Don’t challenge them alone.
We represent those people whose benefits the insurance company has attempted to terminate, modify or suspend:
We’ve represented thousands of injured workers whose benefits the insurance company has attempted to suspend, modify, or terminate because:
- An insurance doctor clears you to return to work after an IME or IRE
- Your employer offers you light or modified-duty employment, and you refuse the offer, or it pays you less than you were earning when you got hurt.
- The workers’ comp insurer claims you’ve made a full recovery, but you haven’t
- A utilization review request
Our Pittsburgh workers’ compensation attorneys fight the insurance company by presenting the facts of your condition to maximize the chance your benefits will be recovered.
