There are many good attorneys in the United States. However, there are some lawyers that, even though they may be financially successful, do not conduct themselves in a manner that reflects well upon the legal field in general. Some examples include:
Benefits generally include payment of medical bills, payment for a portion of lost wages, and compensation if your injury is permanent. Benefits are usually paid by the employer’s insurance company. Many businesses are required by law to carry workers’ compensation insurance.
The workers’ compensation system is a trade-off. You can’t sue your employer, even if they were at fault. And you generally cannot recover for your pain and suffering. On the other hand, employees get compensation, regardless of fault in most cases, without having to go through a lengthy court battle. There are some situations in which you can file a lawsuit against a third party. For example, if you were injured on someone else’s property, you might be able to sue the property owner. If you were injured by a defective product, such as a machine, you may be able to sue the manufacturer.
An experienced work injury attorney can help you navigate the system and will know the best approach to take if your benefits are denied. The insurance company will deny your claim if they can. Sometimes, you have to fight to get your medical bills covered, or to be declared permanently disabled. An attorney will protect your interests, with the goal of getting you full benefits.
When hiring a workers’ compensation attorney, we recommend looking for someone who focuses their practice on helping injured workers. If possible, look for an attorney who has experience with your particular type of injury. Other important things to look for: many years of experience, a good reputation among judges and other attorneys, great customer service, and a history of past success in getting benefits for injured workers.
Work injury attorneys get paid on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if you win. Initial consultations are always free. If you’ve been injured on the job, we can help by recommending an attorney.
