Future Medical Treatment

Ongoing Medical Treatment

Under certain circumstances, Indiana’s injured workers may be entitled to lifetime medical care for their work-related injury. A full and fair settlement should include the cost of future medical care. Even if you have health insurance, a work comp judge could order the work comp insurance carrier to cover you for your on-the-job injury for as long as it takes you to recover as fully as possible. This is the insurance company’s worst nightmare—having to keep a claim open and pay ongoing medical care.
