Delayed claim

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.
