How we match your Kokomo workers' compensation case

When you submit a Kokomo workers' compensation matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.

Case type

A workers' compensation matter needs someone who handles workers' compensation work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.

Size and complexity

Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.

Jurisdiction and licensing

Your matter is decided under Indiana law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Indiana who regularly appears where your case would be heard.

Capacity and fit

Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.

Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.

Usually not. Indiana work injuries run through the Worker's Compensation Board of Indiana, an administrative process rather than a civil lawsuit. If someone other than your employer caused the injury, such as an outside contractor or a negligent driver, a separate claim in Howard County Circuit or Superior Court may also be possible.

Denials and disputes over treatment or wage benefits are handled through the Worker's Compensation Board, which offers mediation and hearings before its members. Reporting the injury in writing and following authorized treatment strengthens your position. An attorney can file the dispute and gather the medical support the Board expects.

Report it to your employer as soon as you can, in writing if possible. Indiana sets notice and filing deadlines that vary with the circumstances, and delay is one of the most common reasons claims are questioned. An Indiana attorney will confirm the exact deadlines that apply to your injury.

Notice to the employer within 30 days under Ind. Code § 22-3-3-1. The formal application for adjustment of claim must be filed within 2 years of the injury under § 22-3-3-3.

The employer. Under Ind. Code § 22-3-3-4, the employer designates the treating physician. Workers who go outside that authorization typically bear the cost unless the Board orders otherwise.
