Correctional Officers
A worker’s comp attorney can be particularly valuable for correctional officers in a number of ways:
01.
Navigating the legal process
Claim filing: The attorney can help ensure that the worker’s comp claim is filed correctly and on time, which is crucial for avoiding delays or denials.
Legal Representation: If the claim is disputed, the attorney will represent the correctional officer in hearings or court proceedings.
02.
Maximizing benefits
Accurate compensation: The attorney can ensure that all benefits due to the correctional officer are correctly calculated, including wage loss benefits, medical care and rehabilitation costs.
Disability ratings: They can help secure a fair disability rating, which is critical in determining the amount of compensation.
03.
Handling claim denials and/or Disputes
Appeals: If a claim is denied, an attorney can assist in appealing the decision, gathering additional evidence and making a strong case for the claim.
Dispute resolution: They can negotiate with the employer or the insurance company to resolve disputes regarding the claim.
04.
Dealing with potential employer retaliation
Protection from Retaliation: The attorney can protect correctional officers from potential retaliation by the employer, such as termination or demotion, for filing a claim.
05.
Understanding specific risks
Specialized knowledge: Correctional officers face unique risks, including assaults by inmates, exposure to hazardous conditions and psychological stress. A worker’s comp attorney with experience in this field can better understand these risks and advocate for appropriate compensation.
