How We Can Help You Pursue Workers' Compensation Benefits
At Larsen, Feist & Hess, P.C., we have resources at our disposal that can help determine the causes of knee injuries. If necessary, we can arrange for an MRI and an objective evaluation by a doctor who can give qualified opinions as to the extent of an injury and recommended medical care.
Damage to the knee is among the most common of workplace injuries. A slip-and-fall can break a kneecap or a twisting of the knee can result in torn cartilage and a meniscus tear, and may result in lasting disability. A knee injury victim needs proper medical care and adequate recovery time if an injured person hopes to recover knee functions.
Often, workers' compensation insurance companies try to avoid paying for medical care and benefits by claiming that a knee injury is the result of a pre-existing condition such as arthritis or the natural aging process.
While the existence of a pre-existing condition does not necessarily prevent an injured worker from getting workers' compensation benefits, it can limit the benefits you do receive. Our comprehensive legal services help overcome the discrepancy between what the insurer wants to cover and the treatments that physicians recommend.
