Insurance Adjusters' Focus is on Making Money and Not on Helping You
Workers' Compensation insurance companies are focused on making money for their business and not the well being of injured workers. Insurance adjusters are trained to use various tactics to avoid paying injured workers' what they are entitled to under the Mississippi Workers' Compensation Act. Insurance companies use intimidation, confusion and outright deception to settle claims with injured workers for the lowest amount possible.
In a world where insurance companies and big businesses are gaining increasing leverage over injured employees, the legal team at Brinkley Law Firm will fight in your corner and level the playing field to get you the compensation you rightly deserve.
Nurse Case Managers Try to Influence Your Doctor's Opinions
If you have been hurt on the job and are receiving medical care, you have probably come in contact with a "Nurse Case Manager." They help to schedule your appointments with your treating physicians, but they also may insist on accompanying you during your evaluations and may try to influence your physician's opinions in ways that are not helpful to your overall recovery.
Like the Insurance Adjuster in your claim, the Nurse Case Manager is not interested in your well-being and does not act with your best interest in mind. The Nurse Case Manager works for the insurance company and their main goal is to get you back to work with as little restrictions as possible regardless of how that may affect your overall recovery. The Nurse Case Manager may influence your doctor to release you to return to your regular job before you have had proper time to heal from your injury, and this may lead to more severe health problems down the road.
The legal team at Brinkley Law Firm has years of experience dealing with insurance companies and we will fight to keep the insurance company and its employees from interfering with your treatment and attempting to influence your physicians. We will keep the Nurse Case Manager out of the evaluation room and out of your doctor's ear so that you can get the proper treatment for your injuries.
