Why You Should Hire an Attorney When Injured at Work
Did you know your employer's insurance controls your medical care after a work injury? Their goals may not always match yours when it comes to your treatment.
Hiring an attorney doesn't mean you are suing your employer. Your employer's insurance company handles your claim, not the employer directly. An attorney explains the legal details and ensures you get proper treatment. Worried about losing your job for hiring an attorney?
It's illegal for employers to retaliate.
You don't pay attorneys upfront. They earn only if you receive a workers's comp award. Having an attorney can prevent delays and help you navigate complex workers comp laws. An attorney also reduces stress by handling insurance company communications for you.
