kentucky workers compensation benefits

Episode 24: Louisville workers’ compensation attorney Scott Scheynost discusses reopening your workers’ compensation claim.  Kentucky law allows for this valuable right for the injured worker.  However, there are specific time limits you need to know about, or you’ll forfeit this right.

What Does Reopening the Claim Mean?

In Kentucky, you can reopen your workers’ compensation claim, even if your claim was settled or ruled on by a judge.  There are criteria you have to meet, but it’s still possible.  An injured worker has the right to reopen if your condition gets significantly worse or if there are specific economic changes.  You must reopen the claim within 4 years of the date of the settlement/award.  Basically, it’s a chance to put extra money in your pocket.

Scott can handle workers’ compensation claims across the state of Kentucky.  In some cases, you may not reside in Kentucky, but maybe your job has a connection to Kentucky.  There are certain circumstances in which Scott may be able to represent you with your workers’ comp claim.

It’s important to work with an experienced Louisville workers’ comp attorney to protect your rights and the benefits you deserve, especially when you need to reopen your workers’ comp claim.
