While you have a right to receive communications from your attorney about the status of your claim, you should be aware that you may not get an immediate response. Workers’ compensation lawyers tend to be very busy, and they may not prioritize responding to a claimant if their case has gone through no new developments since their last communication. You can consider asking assistants and paralegals who are working with the lawyer about the status of your case, or you can ask to see the file for your case. This should give you a sense of what the lawyer has done on your behalf. If these steps do not get results, you may want to consider finding a new lawyer.
