If your injuries are not clearly work-related, require
extensive medical treatment, involve long periods of time
off work, or result in permanent disability, you should call a
workers' compensation lawyer.
You have a preexisting condition The insurance company will likely blame your injury on your
previous condition rather than your work activities. This is
especially true if your injury has developed slowly over
time, rather than during a single work accident.
You are having a workers’ comp hearing If the insurance company refuses to settle—or only makes
lowball settlement offers—you’ll need to go prove your
case at a hearing. Because this is like a mini-trial, you will
almost certainly need a lawyer to represent you.
Your ability to work has been affected If you can never work again, you’ll need to maximize your
workers’ comp benefits and structure them in a way to last
well into the future. If you need to change careers, you’ll
need to secure training in a new line of work. A lawyer can
help you do both.
Your claim is denied You can appeal the denial through the workers’
compensation system. While the appeals process varies
from state to state, it generally requires you to file formal
paperwork, use legal tools to gather evidence, and present
your case at a hearing.
Your permanent disability rating is disputed A lawyer can be essential to getting you a fair settlement or
convincing a judge that you are entitled to the higher
rating.
