Do I Need A Workers’ Compensation Attorney?

Hiring a workers compensation lawyer

1. The first “trigger” is obvious, if your benefits are denied you need to contact a workers’ compensation attorney. A denial of an injured worker’s benefits can occur for countless reasons and a knowledgeable workers’ compensation attorney will be able to aid you in appealing the denial.
2. A second trigger that injured workers should be aware of is if the insurance company is trying to schedule an independent medical examination (IME). Independent medical examinations are often the death knell to an ongoing workers compensation claim. Though an injured worker is required to attend an independent medical examination, contacting a workers’ compensation attorney prior to a denial will allow your attorney to prepare your case in advance to expedite the appeal process.
3. Lastly, an injured worker should retain a workers’ compensation attorney if they have suffered an injury that will result in permanent partial disability. This is especially true if the injury is to the neck or the spine because a separate claim for loss of earning capacity or vocational rehabilitation may exist.
