Because filing a Kentucky workers’ compensation claim can be a very complex process, most injured employees feel it is in their best interest to hire a work injury attorney to help with their claim—although it is not necessary. A Kentucky workers’ comp lawyer can explain the process and stand up to the employer and insurance company on your behalf. If you think you are being treated unfairly, if your work injury or illness will leave you with a permanent disability, or if your ability to work has been affected by the injury, you should contact a workers’ compensation lawyer right away to evaluate your case.
