My Workers’ Comp Checks Stopped Coming In The Mail, Is This Allowed In Michigan?

Yes. In Michigan, insurance companies often stop paying benefits without notice. Insurance companies do this through a dispute of claims, and many of our clients do not realize until their checks stop coming in the mail. Here at the Law Offices of David Zimmerman, we can help you challenge the cutoff.

Common Reasons For Benefits To Be Cut Off

Independent Medical Exams (IME) can be a reason insurance companies stop paying workers’ comp. Insurance companies typically use their own doctors, who often find that the injury is not as severe as before, or that the patient is not injured. They may also say the injury is not work-related.

Refusal of light duty work. If you are offered a job inside your medical restrictions and decline the offer, benefits may be cut. This can happen even if the job is unrealistic.

Insurance companies utilize labor market surveys, which attempt to convey other jobs that exist that the employee could possibly do. This can stop or reduce benefits.

Insurance companies utilize private investigators and social media to try and monitor activity to argue an employee is not or no longer disabled.

If for any reason your benefits have been disputed or cut off, do not hesitate to contact the Law Offices of David Zimmerman where we can help to get your deserved money back.
