When you call attorneys about a workers compensation case, the first thing they ask you is whether you have been controverted.\u00a0 The first reason is that as long as you\u2019re being treated fairly by the insurance company, you don\u2019t need an attorney. The second reason is getting your attorney paid.<\/p>\n

When the attorney\u2019s office asks you \u201chave you been controverted?\u201d, you need to know there are two kinds of controversions: the first kind is when the insurance company sends you a formal Controversion Notice.\u00a0 It looks like this:\u00a0Controversion Notice<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The second kind of controversion is sneakier.\u00a0 It\u2019s when the insurance company fails to pay your benefits timely or verbally tells you it isn\u2019t going to pay your benefits but fails to issue the Controversion Notice.\u00a0 This kind of controversion is called controversion-in-fact.<\/p>\n

So when you answer the question \u201chave you been controverted?\u201d tell the attorney\u2019s office whether you have received a formal Controversion Notice or, if not, whether you have had problems getting your benefits timely paid: whether your TTD or TPD has been paid timely, whether you are receiving medical treatment or if the insurance company is dragging its feet authorizing your medical treatment.<\/p>\n

If the insurance company has controverted you wrongfully, then you should have no problem getting an attorney to represent you in a claim because if your case is won or settled, the insurance company will pay your attorneys fees.<\/p>\n
