Our Approach
-
Mr. Smith undertakes a detailed initial interview with the client for a determination of all issues surrounding the claim.
-
We request medical records from all the doctors and/or hospitals where treatment has been provided for the client’s injury.
-
If the client is already receiving weekly income benefits, we request wage records from the employer to verify that the correct amount of benefits is being paid.
-
If we determine the client is entitled to the initial payment of income benefits, or additional income benefits, we immediately request a hearing before the State Board of Workers’ Compensation.
