Unfortunately, benefits can be stopped with little or no warning. Some employees do not learn about the decision until their check doesn&#8217;t arrive in the mail, usually with a Notice of Dispute filed afterward.<\/p>\n<p>We can help you challenge this decision. Common reasons benefits are stopped include:<\/p>\n<h1>Independent Medical Examination (IME)<\/h1>\n<p>The insurance company can require an examination by a doctor it chooses. If this doctor claims the injured workers has recovered or was never disabled, benefits may be stopped. These IME doctors often work repeatedly with insurance companies.<\/p>\n<h1>Refusing Light-duty Work<\/h1>\n<p>If an employee refuses work that fits their medical restrictions, they may have their wage loss benefits stopped. However, some light duty jobs are pointless, humiliating, or outside the employees restrictions. If you can, accept offered work to attempt and see if you can do an enjoy the work and speak with an attorney if the employer is acting unfairly.<\/p>\n<h1>Surveillance and Activity Checks<\/h1>\n<p>Insurance companies may hire investigators, review social media, and try to take an employees activities out of context. They try and use this evidence to question the employee&#8217;s disability and stop benefits.<\/p>\n<p>If for any reason your benefits are stopped and you have bills to pay, and you feel the benefits were stopped unfairly, speak to an experienced workers&#8217; compensation attorney immediately.<\/p>\n<h1>Injured At Work?
