FAQ about Workers' Compensation


How do I file a workers' compensation claim in Kansas?

The first step in filing a successful workers' compensation claim in Kansas is to notify your employer of your injury immediately. If an injured employee fails to notify his employer within 20 days of an accident or date of a repetitive stress injury, a claim may be denied. When notifying your employer, whether orally or in writing, be sure to include the time, date, person injured and location of the injury.

What does workers' compensation cover?

Under Kansas law, workers' compensation will pay your medical bills and, if your employer is self-insured, all medical bills are paid for by your employer. If your doctor prescribes medicine for a workplace injury, it's critical to inform your pharmacist that your prescription is for a workers' compensation claim. If your claim is allowed, workers' compensation will cover your prescriptions. In addition, workers' compensation will pay you for lost wages if you've been out of work for more than a week. After your one-week waiting period, Kansas requires employers and insurance companies to pay an injured employee two-thirds of the employee's gross average weekly wage.

Do I need a Kansas workers compensation attorney to file for benefits?

No. However, retaining legal counsel can be the difference from receiving the benefits you deserve and years of physical, emotional and financial hardship after a workplace accident. Workers' compensation claims in Kansas often come down to your word against the insurance claim adjuster. From collecting the necessary paperwork to file a claim, to choosing a doctor, to preparing for a potential workers' compensation hearing, an attorney can make sure you provide the most detailed information possible and help prove your injuries to authorities.

How do I deal with a contested workers compensation claim?

If our claim is denied or you don't agree with decisions made by your employer, you can file an appeal. In such cases, it's important to consult with an experienced workers' compensation lawyer who understands the law and is familiar with the appeals process. You have a right to appeal your denied claim all the way to the Kansas Supreme Court, if necessary. Warner Law Offices is not afraid of insurance companies and employers who are more concerned with the bottom line than your well-being. We know how to get them to take your case seriously - even if your job caused a flare-up of a preexisting injury or condition. We'll help you document your injury. We can take photos at your worksite. We can examine medical bills. Whatever we need to do to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
