Why You Need an Attorney
Most people don't realize they need a lawyer until they are denied treatment or lose their jobs. When you have been injured, you can feel like an outcast. You may be harassed and generally treated poorly at work. You may even be fired. Your employer will not advise you about your rights after a workplace injury. To get the protection you need, you should speak with an attorney who has extensive experience dealing with workers' compensation, including going to court to fight for injured workers. The sooner you have an attorney on your side, the better your chances of getting the compensation you are entitled to.
Understanding Your Rights
You have a right to compensation. You have a right to treatment. You have a right to see the doctor of your choice. You have a right to workers' compensation even if your employer tells you that you are a contractor, or that they don't have coverage for workers' comp. Their failure to pay for coverage does not affect your right to the protection of the law. It is unfortunate, but you may have to force your employer and their insurance company to give you the protection you deserve. There are steps we take that can substantially affect the compensation you receive.
