Questions about Why it is Important to Have a Workers Compensation Lawyer

My boss said I just need to fill out a form. Do I really have to hire a lawyer?

You do not have to hire a lawyer to file for Workers’ Compensation, but in many cases it is in your best interest. Workers’ Compensation claims can become very complicated, and the insurance company will try to get out of paying you any way they can. If you have an experienced Workers’ Compensation Lawyer on your side from the beginning, it can save you a lot of time and hassle.

If I hire a lawyer, doesn’t that mean I am suing my employer?

No. Working with an attorney does not mean you are suing someone. A Workers’ Compensation claim is an insurance claim, not a lawsuit.

What if I want to sue?

In Workers’ Compensation cases you cannot sue your employer, but you may have a lawsuit against a third party in addition to your Workers’ Compensation claim.

For instance, if you were injured in an equipment malfunction due to a faulty piece of machinery, you may have a products liability lawsuit against the manufacturer.

Your Workers’ Compensation lawyer can help you determine if you have a third party lawsuit and if you do, help you pursue it.

My Workers’ Compensation claim was denied. Is it too late to hire a lawyer?

No, it is not too late. You have the right to appeal. This is often the very time when an injured Worker decides they need an attorney. You do have a deadline for filing for your appeal, however, so you need to act quickly.

The insurance company has offered me a settlement. I need the money now, but I don’t think it is enough. What should I do?

This is a great example of how an experienced Workers’ Compensation lawyer can help. We can look at your case and review the offer and let you know if it is appropriate and fair. The truth is, in most cases if you have not been working with an attorney the insurance company will believe it can take advantage of you and offer you less than you deserve.

The doctor says I can go back to work, but I know I cannot. I am going to lose my Workers’ Compensation benefits and be out of work. What can I do?

Contact one of the experienced Workers’ Compensation lawyers at White and Stradley, PLLC right away. We can help. The insurance company will try to stop your Workers’ Compensation benefits as soon as possible. And, yes, sometimes they pressure doctors to say you are ready to work again when you are not.
