Delayed claim
San Diego delayed workers' comp claim attorney
When a workers' compensation claim stalls, the bills keep coming. We help injured workers get a delayed claim moving and pursue the benefits they are owed.
Help when your claim is delayed
A work injury can leave you temporarily or permanently unable to work, and you may be entitled to medical care, ongoing treatment, and disability benefits. When the insurer delays, we work to make sure it follows the rules and pays what you are owed.
If your application for benefits has been held up, we can represent you, including at an administrative hearing, to collect the benefits you are entitled to.
Common reasons claims get delayed
Claims are sometimes delayed over disputes about diagnosis, questions about whether the injury is work related, a prior condition, or a late report of the injury. We help address the reason for the delay and move your claim forward.

How long should a decision take?
California sets timeframes for insurers to accept, deny, or investigate a claim. If those timeframes pass without action, that itself can support next steps. [CONFIRM: confirm the timeframes that apply to your claim]

Verified 5-star Google reviews. Patrick Hollingsworth is named throughout.
Patrick assisted me in my case for over two years. He fought for me to obtain a very excellent settlement and treated me like a family member. I will absolutely use his services again and recommend him to my friends and family. Thank you, H&H team.
Mr. Patrick is an excellent attorney. Great communication, and he explains the process. He always responded promptly and worked around my work schedule. I was rear-ended by an underinsured motorist, but he still got me outstanding medical care and a settlement. Highly recommend!
