YUnderstanding legal technicalities, such as when to make a personal injury claim, is difficult when you are recovering from injuries. Using a work injury lawyer means you can heal while your attorney takes care of the details to get you paid sooner. Your lawyer can listen to your story and work out the best approach for your situation.
A SKILLED WORK INJURY ATTORNEY CAN HELP YOU WITH: Determining if you have a valid claim
Filing paperwork correctly and on time
Gathering evidence to support your claim
Negotiating with insurance representatives
Making sure you see the right doctor for your injuries
Pursuing a personal injury and/or third-party claim
Calculating the damages you are owed
While many workplace injuries are obvious, others can be harder to diagnose until days or weeks later. A lacerated hand clearly needs surgery, but mental trauma from seeing equipment explode where you work each day is more difficult to quantify. Seeing the right doctors who can diagnose all your wounds is crucial to keep you from returning to work when you are still hurt.
