Washington, D.C. Injury Law Firm for Workers and Families

Yes, you can still file a claim even if you did not feel pain right away after a car accident. Delayed symptoms are common, but waiting too long to seek medical treatment can make it harder to prove your injuries were caused by the crash.

Medical records are a key part of any personal injury claim. If there is a gap between the accident and your treatment, the insurance company may argue your injuries are unrelated. Getting medical care as soon as symptoms appear helps protect your claim.

Sí, le pueden despedir mientras esté cobrando la indemnización por accidente de trabajo. La mayoría de los estados, incluyendo DC, VA y MD, tienen disposiciones que impiden a los empleadores despedir a los empleados en respuesta a un comportamiento protegido, como la presentación de una reclamación de compensación de trabajadores (represalias). Sin embargo, rara vez se trata de esto.

Como empleado a voluntad, su empleador puede despedirle legalmente mientras su reclamación esté abierta. El despido no pone fin a tu caso de indemnización por accidente de trabajo; la compañía de seguros debe continuar con las prestaciones y cubrir el tratamiento médico.

No. You cannot be forced to have surgery for a work injury. Surgery is always your decision, even if the insurance company recommends it.

Insurance companies may pressure injured workers by suggesting benefits could be affected, but refusing surgery does not automatically end your workers’ compensation benefits.

Yes, you can appeal a long term disability denial, but it is not easy. The insurance company makes the process confusing on purpose, and you must fix every reason they gave for the denial.
