Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the Most Commonley Asked Questions of our Practice
Can they fire me if I file a Workers’ Compensation claim against my employer?
Yes! A common misconception among the public is that an employer can’t fire you if you have an open Workers’ Compensation claim against them. Actually, they can fire you for almost any reason except to retaliate against you for having a work injury or claim. Some employers will make up a bogus reason to let you go. Then we will sue the employer for you, but the burden of proof as to the reason for the firing is on the injured worker. Be polite to your employer. The employer has nothing to gain by firing you and much to lose if you prove discrimination, but you are dealing with people. If your employer doesn’t like you, he may invent a good reason for letting you go. However, if the employer loses a discrimination case, your claim’s value will increase by 50% or ten thousand dollars, whichever is less.
What makes Inland Law Group the best law firm to handle my Workers’ Compensation claim?
Inland law group is staffed with Hearing Representatives who are available to answer your questions both in person and over the phone. Unlike other law offices who have staff to answer the phone and “take a message”, Inland Law Group has the staff who are actually working on your case ANSWER THE PHONE! And we call you back. You won’t believe how comforting it will be to actually know what is going on with your case. At most law firms, once you have signed up with them, they never want to hear from you again until it is time to settle your case. At Inland Law Group, if you ask us a question, you get a prompt answer.
Can I get stuck with doctor bills if I lose my case?
Not if they were truly incurred as a result of your work injury. Sometimes, an injured worker will go to the doctor or get a medicine prescription for something which is not work related. Those bills are not the responsibility of your employer’s Workers’ Compensation insurance carrier. However, sometimes there is a dispute about the bill. In that situation, it is the responsibility of the medical provider to prove that his bill is work related. A Workers’ Compensation medical bill is a bill about you which is the responsibility of your employers’ workers’ compensation insurance carrier. It is not your bill.
How fast can I get my money?
The severity of your injury and the time that it takes you to recover will determine the actual date of resolution of your case. We don’t get paid until your case is settled or goes to trial. We have no reason to delay and every reason to “speed it up” and get it over with. We know that’s what you want too. We will get you every penny that we possibly can, as quickly as we can.
