When Should Employees Speak With a Lawyer After a Work Injury?
It is important to have legal representation when dealing with a work injury claim. We always advise clients to seek legal representation on time to ensure their rights are protected and they are not cheated of their benefits.
The following are situations where you need a lawyer after a work injury:
Your employer is delaying your claim.
After a workplace accident, you must notify your employer and get them to start the workers’ compensation process if they have workers’ compensation insurance. Ideally, your employer should file the paperwork with their insurer. However, things don’t always go this way, as employers sometimes try to delay claims. If faced with this problem, contact us immediately and we will help you get the process going.
Your employer’s insurance denied your claim.
Your employer’s insurance company can deny your claim for several reasons. When this happens, you can appeal the decision with the help of our work injury lawyer. We will handle the legal work so you can focus on treating your injuries.
You suffered a permanent or temporary disability.
Some work injuries cause temporary or permanent disability, limiting your ability to work or requiring you to change jobs. Employers often push back on disability claims to save money, so it’s crucial to hire a lawyer that represents your interests. Our work injury lawyer will ensure you get disability benefits for as long as you need.
You have a pre-existing medical condition.
Insurers often use pre-existing medical conditions to deny a work injury claim or pay less benefits than you’re entitled to. If they bring this up in your case, we will present evidence to counter their assertion and show that your injury is work-related or happened while you performed your official duty.
Having legal representation means there are fewer chances of mismanaging your claim and a better possibility of getting a positive outcome.
Your employer retaliates against you.
Sometimes, employers retaliate against employees who file a work injury claim and insist on getting benefits. They do this by demoting, firing, or taking disciplinary action against you. Employer retaliation is illegal, so if you suspect you are a victim of such treatment, contact us immediately.
Your employer claims workers’ compensation does not apply to you.
If your employer has workers’ compensation insurance but claims it does not apply to you, you can take legal action against them with the help of our lawyers. We will examine the policy and hold your employer accountable.
