Insurance companies like Travelers might use the following strategies:
- Request for Additional Documentation: They may ask for more medical records or documentation to delay the process.
- Second Opinions: They could seek further medical opinions to challenge the need for surgery.
- Negotiation: They might attempt to negotiate a settlement lower than what you're entitled to.
Consulting with a workers' compensation attorney could help navigate these tactics. Have you talked to a lawyer about your case yet?
