Why it Can be a Fight to Get All of Your Workers' Comp Benefits
Louisiana workers’ comp can be tricky because the insurance company might withhold benefits from you without telling you what you’re being denied.
Sometimes, insurance companies deny your claim outright. Other times, they just don’t give you as much as they should and hope you won’t complain.
These are some of the ways you can get shortchanged on workers’ comp in Louisiana:
- Your weekly checks for lost wages are too low.
- Your checks arrive too late.
- You don’t get approved for all the medical treatment you need.
- Your prescriptions aren’t covered.
- You don’t get reimbursement for covered expenses, such as travel to and from medical appointments.
But, if you don’t know everything you’re supposed to get, it’s hard to pursue fair compensation.
The lawyers at Workers’ Compensation, LLC, can evaluate your situation to see whether the workers’ comp system is shortchanging you.
It’s a complicated system. Getting someone to back you up can make a big difference in your financial future—and restoring your sense of peace after a job injury disrupts your life.

Types of Workers' Comp Payments You Can Receive
The portion of your benefits that covers some of the wages you miss as a result of getting hurt at work comes in several forms.
You get weekly checks that pay two-thirds of your previous income, up to a limit set by the state.
Depending on your injury, you could receive:
- Temporary Total Disability (TTD): When you can’t work until you recover from your injury
- Permanent Partial Disability (PPD): When you will have life-long effects from your job injury
- Permanent Total Disability (PTD): When your injury leaves you completely unable to work
Sometimes, you can settle your claim and receive a lump sum payment that takes into account the long-term impact of your injury.
But talk to a lawyer first to help you determine the value of your claim. Insurance companies want you to settle for less.
The lawyers at Workers’ Compensation, LLC, work with this system every day and know what you should get so you can move forward with your life.
