I’ve been dealing with a workers’ comp claim for about nine months now after I hurt my back lifting at work, and for the most part I was trying to handle everything myself because I thought it would be straightforward. One thing that really started to get under my skin was the adjuster constantly calling me while I was at my new job. I had to find different work after my injury since I couldn’t go back to my old physical job, and I explained that to her multiple times, but she kept calling during my shift, leaving messages with my boss, and making it really awkward for me. I didn’t know if I was allowed to tell her to stop calling me at work or if that would make her mad and cause problems with my claim. I finally got so stressed out about it that I decided to reach out for some help, and I ended up talking to Edward Seplavy workers comp lawyer NY who explained that I didn’t have to take those calls and that she was probably doing it on purpose to pressure me. He took over my case and within a week the calls stopped and I could actually focus on my new job without feeling like the insurance company was lurking in the background. I’m still early in the process with them but just having someone to handle all that communication has been such a relief. If anyone else is dealing with an adjuster who won’t stop calling at inappropriate times, you don’t have to just put up with it. I wish I’d known that months ago.
