Q: What do I do if the insurance company has filed a Petition to Terminate or Modify my benefits after I have been examined by one of their doctors?

A: If the insurance company files a Petition to Terminate or Modify your benefits, a hearing will be scheduled before a workers’ compensation Judge to hear evidence in your case. If this occurs, you will definitely need the services of an experienced worker’s compensation attorney to protect your rights to ongoing benefits. Likewise, if the insurance company files a Utilization Review to challenge your need for ongoing medical treatment, you should contact an experience workers’ compensation attorney right away.
