Apr 8, 2014 | WC & Other Laws

When you’re injured on the job, everything is stacked against you. If you’ve been injured at work and you’re asking yourself, “Do I need a workers’ compensation lawyer?” then it can’t hurt to talk to one. 

With almost 30 years of combined experience we’ve helped thousands of workers who got their lives back on track, get the benefits and medical care that they deserve. If you’re asking yourself this question, get in touch with us today and let us be your advocate through this process.

What are the benefits of hiring a workers’ compensation lawyer?

Hiring a workers’ compensation lawyer brings peace of mind and significantly boosts your chances of a successful claim. We ensure every part of your case is handled with precision, from filing paperwork to negotiating with insurance companies, so you’re not left navigating complex processes alone. 

Our goal is to secure the full benefits you’re entitled to, covering medical costs, lost wages, and long-term needs if necessary.

When challenges arise—such as claim denials, disputes over benefit amounts, or delays—we’re here to step in, represent you in hearings, and fight for the fair compensation you deserve. With our experience on your side, you can focus on recovery while we handle the rest.

What happens if you don’t hire a workers’ compensation lawyer?

If you choose not to hire a workers’ compensation lawyer, you may be able to manage a straightforward claim, especially if your injury is minor, your employer acknowledges the incident, and the insurance company offers full benefits without dispute. In such cases, handling things on your own might be feasible, provided you meet all deadlines and understand the claims process.

However, without a lawyer, you risk facing challenges alone. Many people find the process more complex than expected, especially when dealing with claim denials, low benefit offers, or delays in receiving payments. Missing deadlines, underestimating what your injury is worth, or not knowing your full rights could result in lost benefits. 

It’s also important to note that insurance companies want to pay out as little as possible. Having a lawyer who knows the ins and outs of the processes can help maximize the compensation and get what you deserve.
