Medical Evidence in workers compensation claim

Medical evidence plays an important role in determining the acceptance of your workers compensation claim and the quantum of your compensation payout. If you have not sought medical attention immediately after the accident, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have a valid workers compensation claim but the claim may be more difficult. Foyle Legal may be able to help you to get the most out of your personal injury claim.

Workers Compensation Payout: How a Work Injury Lawyer Can Maximise Your Claim

The workers compensation system is designed to help injured workers cope with the financial burden while they are injured and can not work. This is assuming that your workplace injury is causing a tangible loss to you.

At the end of a claim workers are often eligible for a payout, but it is important to have the right evidence and that is where Foyle Legal can help you.

What to after a work injury?

Ordinarily, injured workers are expected to seek medical attention promptly after the accident at work. This is because:

  • Medical treatment provides early treatment which helps with recovery
  • If you want to make workers compensation claim, you need to submit your workers compensation claim form together with your first certificate of capacity, and you will need to seek medical attention to obtain the first medical certificate

If you don’t seek medical attention immediately after your workplace accident, the insurer may contend that your injury is not directly related to your work accident.
