When to Seek Legal Advice
Any time a serious injury occurs while on the job, it is wise to promptly seek legal advice from an attorney. An experienced attorney can stand up to the insurance companies that are only looking out for your company's interests and help you receive the full amount of compensation you are entitled to. The following situations demand that you seek legal advice:
Your case has not been filed and:
- You're not sure how to fill out the forms
- Your employer has denied that you were injured while on the job
- You are without income
- Your employer does not carry compensation insurance
Your case has:
- Been accepted, but you are out of work and not receiving weekly checks to cover wage loss
- Been neither accepted nor denied, and neither the employer nor insurance company will respond to you
- Been accepted, but you are being required to do work that causes pain or which you are not able to do properly because of your injury
Your Wages have been:
- Understated by insurance company and your “compensation” rate is low (Usually, you only receive about 2/3 wages and that is your compensation rate.)
- Reduced because you had to take a lesser paying job when you returned to work, and your employer or insurance company will not make up the difference in wages
Your medical care:
- Is not adequate
- Has been denied. has been stopped because your treating doctor “released” you when you still need additional medical treatment
- Has provided a disability rating for your injury, but you believe you are entitled to a greater disability rating
The insurance company has:
- Requested an interview, which will be recorded
- Promised compensation, but you have not received any
- Made a settlement offer that is low, and you don't have any idea whether it is a fair settlement or not; or you suspect an unfair settlement
- Sent you a Notice of Denial with a very tight time frame to appeal
Your employer has fired you because of your injury which is a violation of federal law.
You are not sure of your rights and want the guidance of an experienced attorney to help you through the maze of workers' compensation.
