There could be several reasons why you have not received a check. The claim may have been denied, filed late, never filed or accepted without notification as a “no time lost” claim. You may be on “light duty” status per your doctor, but have not filled out the insurance carrier’s monthly status form. Sometimes the carrier lacks wage information to calculate benefits. It is also not uncommon for insurance carriers to act slowly for various reasons, often blaming doctors and employers for failing to send requested information. A good attorney will figure out what the problem is and keep the pressure on the insurance company to issue timely benefits.
