Why an Attorney is Necessary in Worker’s Comp Cases
Are you having trouble making ends meet after suffering from a work injury?
Are you frustrated dealing with your employer’s insurance company?
Is an attorney absolutely necessary to file for worker’s compensation benefits?
Yes. It’s always a good idea to contact an attorney to understand your rights! You could potentially lose out on a lot of worker’s compensation benefits if you try to represent yourself. You can contact an attorney without formally hiring them, usually free of charge.
There are a variety of benefits and settlements for injured or ill workers that include but are not limited to:
Medical benefits: The insurer will cover the costs for most medical treatment you need while you’re recovering from an on-the-job injury or illness.
Lost wages: The insurer should make up a portion of your lost wages in most cases.
Additionally, insurers may provide disability benefits for a worker’s compensation settlement if you have some type of permanent disability. Attorneys at our firm will also fight for your right to claim your settlement over a period of time, or in a lump-sum payment.
