Topic: Worker's Compensation
After a work related injury, we understand that your whole world is turned upside-down. Not only are you dealing with the physical pain of the injury and potential depression from being injured, but there can also be additional financial difficulties. What your worker's compensation insurance company may not tell you is that you may be eligible to receive mileage reimbursement for travelling to doctor appointments outside of the county of your employer. While paying your mileage expenses is not going to fix all of your financial problems, it can certainly help get a little extra cash into the household. We realize that a lot of times the injured worker does not even know that they can recover mileage expenses. In Indiana, the rule is that you can recover mileage at $0.40 cents per mile if the medical treatment is outside of the county of your employment. At Wagner Reese & Crossen, we are always trying to maximize the benefits that you are entitled to in order to assist you in every way possible and every little bit helps. So, remember if you are travelling outside of the county of your employment for your medical treatment, keep a mileage log for reimbursement purposes.
