What are the common injuries for Corona workers
Injuries in the workplace are not uncommon. We know that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) says there were nearly three million nonfatal injuries of illnesses during the latest reporting year in the US. Thankfully, most workplace injuries are minor and result in little to no days of work lost. However, there are many workplace injuries that leave workers dependent on workers’ compensation for the short- and long-term. Some of the most common injuries our Corona our Independent Medical Review lawyers see include:
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Traumatic Brain Injuries
- Broken or Dislocated Bones
- Severe lacerations or amputations
- Hearing and Vision Loss
- Respiratory Problems
- Cancers
- Repetitive Stress Injuries
Regardless of the injury or illness, it should be covered by workers compensation if it was has a workplace cause.
What is an Independent Medical Review
An Independent Medical Review letter is sent to you if the insurance company that is covering you workers’ comp claim decides that they no longer want to cover parts or all of your treatment. When you receive this letter, you have 30 days to send in the application for the Independent Medical Review.
The IMR was made into law in 2013 as a way to resolve disputes between injured workers and the insurance companies (or the person’s employer).
There were 184,722 denials or modifications of injured workers’ care letter sent during the latest reporting year in California. Based on the data available, we know that 90% of these denials are upheld by the Independent Medical Review. That is why it is so important to seek help from a skilled Corona workers’ compensation lawyer as soon as possible in these cases.
