Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: Do I need an attorney to help me with my Workers Compensation claim?

A: If you have a simple injury which heals completely in a short time and you miss no work, and your employer's insurance carrier  gives appropriate medical care and provides pharmaceuticals as needed, you may not need an attorney.

If on the other hand, your injury is serious enough to hold you out of work for more than 1 week or is expected to leave you with a permanment limitation or impairment, you will be at a disadvantaged unless you are familiar with the Workers Compensation Statutes, Regulations, Case Law and procedures.  An insurance adjuster has no legal or ethical duty to look out for your best interest.  An experienced Workers Compensation Attorney can make sure you receive all benefits to include compensation and medical treatment now and in the future if applicable.
