Yes you would be a fool not to have a workers comp attorney call and ask for Sally the receptionist ask her for an appointment with a lawyer
Taking on the workers’ compensation system can be extremely difficult because so many issues pop up as your case progresses. You won’t know the answers to questions about the correct weekly benefit amount, based on your average weekly wage and degree of disability. Disputing your medical bills may occur as time goes on and you’ll need a knowledgeable advocate. You need a lawyer to navigate the workers’ compensation system because the workers’ compensation board is a neutral party that will not help you. Neither will the workers’ compensation carrier, the insurance company. They are there for the benefit of the insured company. Your employer is not likely to help you through the handling of your workers’ compensation claim. You need a representative who knows how to address your workers’ compensation claim to go to bat for you.
