When you’re injured on the job, your immediate concern is the health and well-being of yourself and your family. Unfortunately, it’s not the concern of most insurance companies and even your employer. While accidents that occur on the job should be covered by workers’ compensation insurance, your employer still may dispute your workers’ compensation claim. If the claim does make it to the insurance company, you’ll probably be offered a “low ball” settlement that typically covers only a fraction of your costs.
If either of these scenarios occurs or if you feel you need additional advice, it’s important you seek legal help. Find a lawyer who specializes in workers’ compensation cases and has won these cases for their clients. Remember your team represents you and finding the right team is critical.
Your first meeting with your potential workers’ compensation lawyer will help you determine if they are the right fit for you. You have an opportunity to get to know them, build trust, and ask questions. Here are a few questions that will help you determine if you and your attorney are a good fit.
- Does your attorney concentrate in workers’ compensation cases?
- Has your attorney published anything related to workers’ compensation?
- What strategy will your attorney use to help you win your case?
- Is your attorney accessible and will you have access to all of the information related to your claim?
“You should also pay attention to whether the lawyer is a good listener, understands the issues in your case, and answers your questions thoughtfully. At the end of the day, you should feel confident that your lawyer will competently handle your case, communicate with you regularly, and offer you advice and support along the way.” – https://www.lawyers.com/legal-info/workers-compensation
