I have been injured in a work-related accident and I am receiving workers’ compensation benefits. When should I consult an attorney?
It is never too soon to consult an attorney after sustaining a work related injury, even if for no other reason that to have the workers’ compensation system explained to you, and what to expect from the process. There is a substantial likelihood that the insurance company will eventually challenge a worker’s right to compensation benefits, and the insurance company begins preparing a litigation strategy to get an injured worker off compensation from the time that the adjuster opens the file. Not only is it critical for the injured worker to consult an attorney as soon as possible especially if the injury is serious, it is recommended that you get in touch with an workers’ compensation attorney.
