Bardstown Workers Compensation Lawyer

Injuries on the job can happen for any number of reasons, but they have one common denominator—they leave you unable to earn a living, and there may be a long road of recovery ahead. The workers’ compensation program exists to help people in these situations.

Unfortunately, sometimes the system doesn’t always work as intended. Any number of reasons can arise that may prevent a worker from exercising their rights to collect and then return to their job after recovery. Attorney Audrey Haydon-Blackmon is an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer who has earned a strong reputation throughout the state of Kentucky for her ability to help people get justice.

Call our Bardstown office today at (502) 490-2214. You can also use our online contact form to request a free consultation. We offer in-person and virtual meetings.

Common Obstacles in Workers' Compensation Cases

Dealing with government agencies, insurance companies, and the healthcare profession can be challenging enough on its own. When you deal with all three of them simultaneously in a workers’ compensation case, it’s no wonder that some people can feel overwhelmed. That’s why we’re here.

These are just a few of the issues we assist our clients with:

Insufficient Medical Documentation

Your claim may have faltered due to a lack of comprehensive medical evidence demonstrating the severity of your injury and its impact on your ability to perform your job. This can lead to minimized benefits or outright denial. We can help by coordinating with medical professionals to obtain detailed reports and securing the necessary documentation to support your claim.

Employer Retaliation

Fear of retaliation, such as demotion or termination, can discourage employees from filing a workers' compensation claim. Our lawyer can provide protection by challenging these illegal retaliatory actions and zealously advocating for your interests.

Disputes Over Disability Ratings

Disagreements often arise regarding the extent of a worker's disability and the corresponding benefits. Insurance companies may downplay the severity to limit payouts. We understand what it takes to challenge these assessments, facilitate independent evaluations, and present a strong case to help get you the benefits corresponding to your actual condition.

Pre-existing Conditions

Employers or insurers might argue that the injury is a result of a pre-existing condition rather than a workplace incident, thereby complicating the claim process. A lawyer can help by differentiating between the pre-existing condition and the workplace injury, demonstrating how the current condition was exacerbated by the work environment, thereby strengthening your case for compensation.

Delayed Payments

Sometimes, even after a claim is approved, benefits may be delayed, causing financial strain on you and your family. Our office will do everything we can to expedite this process by holding the insurance company accountable, filing necessary motions, and getting you compensation in a timely manner.

Disputed Coverage

There can be disputes over whether an injury is covered by workers' compensation, especially if the incident occurred offsite or during non-standard work activities. We work to clarify the situation by gathering evidence and demonstrating the connection between your injury and your work duties.

Misclassification of Employees

Employers might misclassify workers as independent contractors to avoid providing workers' compensation benefits. Our lawyer can investigate the employment circumstances, challenge the misclassification, and work to secure your appropriate benefits.
