I already have an Award which includes future medical care and the insurance company refuses to provide me any additional care. Can an attorney help me?
I don’t know if they all can, but we certainly will. An Award which includes Future Medical Care is for life and only if the defendant’s can show that your need for treatment is not related to your work injury should your treatment be denied. Again in this situation, you will not owe any attorneys fees until your case is resolved and in these circumstances your attorneys fees could be paid separately by the insurance carrier. Additionally, should your permanent disability condition have worsened since the time of your Award, we may be able to reopen your claim and obtain additional Temporary Disability or Permanent Disability. There is a limited amount of time in which your claim can be reopened so if you believe your condition has worsened, it is imperative you contact an attorney immediately.
