Workers' Compensation Attorney in Owensboro

According to the Commonwealth of Kentucky Labor Cabinet, most injured workers hire a lawyer to file a workers’ compensation claim for them due to the complexity of the claims process. A lawyer can help a claimant:

• Complete the claims forms
• Gather information, such as medical documentation, needed for a claim

But if a claim is denied, the process gets much more complicated. The claimant will need to go through the appeals process, which can take many months to complete. At a minimum, your claim will be subjected to a benefit review conference and a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). You may also need to appeal to the Workers’ Compensation Board and the Kentucky courts. 

Morgan & Morgan can guide you through the appeals process and steer your case to the best possible outcome.

Depending on how the accident occurred, you may be eligible for a third party lawsuit against somebody who is not your employer or fellow employees, such as a subcontractor on a construction site or the manufacturer of defective machinery. Third-party claims do not affect your eligibility for Kentucky workers’ compensation.
