Many people make the mistake of disregarding notices from the Workers' Compensation Board because they are no longer missing time from work. Claimants believe that the paperwork cannot be important since their medical bills have been paid and they are earning their full wages. However, nothing could be further from the truth.
If you have received letters or notices from the Workers' Compensation Board or correspondence from the insurance carrier do not assume that it is not important. In many instances, the notices represent decisions in your case which can impact your entitlement to future awards, medical care, and monetary payment for loss of use.
Even if you have not missed a single day from work in a long time, it is possible that your case qualifies for a permanency award. While you don’t need to run out and hire an attorney immediately, you should definitely inquire as to what the legal notices means and find out if you are entitled to further awards for permanency. A brief phone call with an experienced Workers' Compensation lawyer will give you the peace of mind you deserve.
If you reside in the Capital District area of New York State and have questions about your Workers' Compensation claim, we would be happy to answer them for you.
