Will Your Injured Employee Hire an Attorney?

Here is a list of 10 red flag indicators:

1. Injured worker calls an attorney on the way to the walk-in clinic.
2. Injured worker was recently reprimanded or written up.
3. Injured worker and supervisor do not get along.
4. No witnesses to the injury.
5. Injury occurs within 90 days of hire.
6. Typically, soft tissue injury and a strain, sprain, etc.
7. Co-morbidity issues - smoker, diabetic or overweight.
8. Injured worker is unhappy with treating physician.
9. Spouse is collecting disability.
10. Injured worker is behind on paying child support.

What do we need to do to deny or mitigate this cost?

• Send medical questionnaire to the carrier adjuster;
• Get surveillance requested immediately;
• If litigated, discuss early settlement to lower cost - it's cheaper!
