You have had a work injury and the insurance company has contacted you. Now you are sitting at home waiting on a check or a doctor’s approval.
What other rights are you entitled to?
What other compensation can you receive when you have a workers comp claim?
Don’t be afraid to call your adjuster. Ask him or her what you are entitled to after your work injury. Ask them about reimbursement for trips to the doctor and pharmacy. Ask them if you can choose your own doctor. Ask them how they calculated your workers comp wages. Then you can call us and we can explain all of your rights under the Louisiana workers compensation laws, even the rights that some of the insurance companies don’t tell you about.
