Legal Answer
You are lucky that you received temporary disability for 11 months. Claim adjusters are not representing you and they represent the insurance company. The dispute arises when you need an evaluation by an outside doctor because insurance company doctors tend to be biased in favor of insurance company and would not fairly evaluate your permanent disabilities and future medical care. You need representation by an experienced attorney who would get you maximum settlement for you injuries and future medical treatment. Feel free to call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.

Once you receive any type of WC benefit, you have one year in which to file a fomal Application for Adjuication. You can select an attorney to repesent you at any time. Whether you need an attorney depends in part whether it is simply to determine your and you are getting all of your disability benefits.
