How do I talk to a workers’ comp adjuster?

You can speak with a workers’ compensation adjuster by contacting the workers’ compensation department of the insurance carrier and request to speak to the assigned adjuster.  Typically, a workers’ compensation claim will be assigned a claim number and the assigned adjuster can be identified by using the claim number.  It is important to note that any statements, however, made to an adjuster can be later used against the injured worker.  An experienced workers’ compensation attorney can assist in appropriate and required communications with an insurance adjuster to provide necessary documentation of a work-related injury.
