The 2015 Annual Report from the State of Alaska Division or Workers Compensation shows what a big business workers compensation claims are and insurance companies\u2019 trends to improve their profits. The full report is accessible on the Division\u2019s website at: http:\/\/labor.state.ak.us\/wc\/forms\/2015AR.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

In 2015, Reports of Injury increased 6.5% from to 19,909 reported injuries. Insurance companies controverted 3,682 claims and after cases were filed with the Board, the insurance companies controverted 2,645 claims.<\/p>\n

And the insurance companies are often wrong. 1,200 claims were filed in the Division (cases filed after the insurance companies controverted the claim). 614 cases settled after the insurance company controveted benefits and the Employee filed a claim. That\u2019s more than one-half.\u00a0 Another 164 cases went to hearing.<\/p>\n

The point is: when insurance companies controvert benefits, the controversion is not always fair. According to these numbers, in more than half of the cases the insurance companies initially controverted, they later paid out settlements. They would not have done so if they thought they could win the case.<\/p>\n

If you have been controverted, you need to find out whether you are being treated fairly. Call an experienced Workers Compensation attorney.<\/p>\n
