Arizona Workers' Compensation Attorneys

Workers' compensation insurance companies sometimes employ the practice of delaying and unfairly denying benefits to injured workers. Robert J. Hommel possesses a thorough knowledge of workers' compensation law and years of experience advocating for clients.

Injured on the Job

Arizona law mandates that employers carry workers' compensation insurance. If you have been injured on the job, you must ensure that your employer has been notified of the accident and if you need medical care or time off work. Their legal requirement is to investigate how the injury occurred and provide treatment to minimize the injury. If there is a failure to report the injury, that could prevent you from collecting disability benefits. From there, you must file your claim, which will ultimately be approved, denied, or delayed.

Type of Workers' Compensation Claim

Workers Compensation Injuries may occur from a sudden traumatic injury, the cumulative effects of heavy labor or repetitive use, or from job related aggravation to preexisting infirmities or degenerative conditions.  All are covered.  Through the Workers Compensation law, workers have given up their rights to full compensation for injuries, lost wages, and permanent loss of earning capacity.  In exchange, the system has been designed with the intent to provide speedy medical and disability benefits to injured workers, without litigation or prolonged investigation delays.  Special rules have been adopted to avoid legal disputes over many issues and get benefits to the worker before all is lost.

Denials or Delays

Your insurance coverage should pay for medical treatments, rehabilitation therapy, lost wages, and other miscellaneous expenses. Workers' compensation insurance exists for this very purpose, yet many times the injured employee does not receive the benefits or there is a significant delay. If there is a denial or delay, you may need experienced representation provided by the law office of Robert J. Hommel, PC.
