Although your employer should automatically pay workers’ compensation benefits for a work injury, in many cases employers deny that an employee’s injury is work-related, or employers decline to cover certain medical treatment or pay the full benefits the employee may be entitled to. When this occurs, a work injury attorney can fight to ensure you receive the full benefits you deserve under the law. A work injury lawyer can also review your case and potentially help you pursue a legal claim against a third party that may have been responsible for your work injury.
