If you have suffered a job-related injury or illness, you may be entitled to receive workers' compensation. However, insurance companies and employers want to minimize their costs, and your full recovery is not always their top priority.

You are my top priority. I'm Omaha workers' comp lawyer Jason Ausman. My goal is to ensure that you get the full amount of workers' compensation benefits you are entitled to, and that you receive those benefits for the entire length of your recovery period.

Contact my law office for a free consultation if you have questions or concerns about a workplace injury and workers' compensation claim. I can help you with your initial filing or your appeal to the Nebraska Workers' Compensation Court

Difficulties Faced by Injured Workers

Some of the most common problems workers' comp problems I see are:

• Injured workers not being paid for time off work due to the injury
• Medical bills not being paid or not paid in a timely manner (which can affect your credit)
• Insurance companies deny a claim because they claim the injury was not work-related
• Insurers denying a claim for an occupational illness or a mental health problem
• Insurance companies paying benefits based upon an inaccurate (low) average weekly wage

Protect Your Right to Full Compensation

Working with an experienced workers' comp attorney can help you in several ways. I can advise you on the steps you need to take to protect your interests from the time of your initial injury until your case is closed. I can help you find the medical and diagnostic services you need to prepare your case and understand the full extent of your injury. I can negotiate with your employer or your employer's insurance company to try to resolve errors. I can represent you in an appeal.

When you have suffered an on-the-job injury, I work hard to ensure you receive all of the benefits to which you are entitled, including:

• Medical bills for doctors, hospitals, home nurses, chiropractors, prescriptions, and medical procedures
• Rehabilitation expenses such as physical therapy or occupational therapy
• Mileage expenses for doctor and therapy visits
• Temporary disability payments
• Permanent disability payments if your injury or disfigurement is permanent
• Lost wages or earning capacity
• Vocational rehabilitation
