I’m Ched Jennings, Founder of the Jennings Law Offices, in Louisville, Kentucky. Did you know the day your injury happened, a very important clock began ticking? It’s call the Statute of Limitations. Let’s talk about that.
You have to file a formal workers comp claim with Frankfort within a specific period of to preserve your right to future medicals and the right to re-open your claim, in the event your condition worsens. That period what’s called your Statute of Limitations. The abbreviation, is SOL, and we know that means.
The Statute of Limitations is 2 years from the date of injury, or date of last payment of workers’ compensation benefits. But don’t get that confused with short-term disability payments. If you miss your Sol, you’ll be unable to receive on-going workers’ comp benefits.
Just because they’re paying you workers’ comp benefits now, it does not relieve you of your requirement to file a formal claim in Frankfort to protect your rights. Don’t be surprised if the insurance company wants you to miss your deadline. Tick Tock. When it comes to paying workers’ comp benefits, the insurance companies often play games with injured workers, in an effort to get out of paying what they should for the injuries. What they don’t pay out, they get to keep.
After a workplace injury, you should speak with an experienced attorney who handles Kentucky workers’ compensation claims. I’ve been doing it for the last 40 years. I’m licensed to represent injured workers in all 120 Kentucky counties.
I’ll explain how I can handle all of this for you, during our initial interview. It’s about protecting your rights and what you’re entitled to by law. Contact my office to schedule your free consultation. Our phone number is (502) 583-3882.
Again, I’m Ched Jennings. Thanks for listening.
