If you were hurt on the job, you may be entitled to certain workers’ compensation benefits. In some instances, workman’s comp cases are straightforward, and don’t necessarily require the expertise of an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer.

When Do You Need a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer?
If your injuries were minor, and you don’t need any ongoing care or time away from work, you probably don’t need to hire a lawyer. Insurance companies usually pay out for small injuries with little trouble. However, if you suffered a serious injury, or if there is doubt as to whether or not the injury occurred while performing work-related duties, you should discuss your case for free with an experienced workers comp lawyer to evaluate the merits and strength of your claim.
Many times, insurance companies with try to devalue or deny a claim if:
- You took too long to file your workers’ compensation claim
- No one saw your accident
- You may not be able to return to work, or only return in a diminished capacity
- You need extensive and ongoing medical care
It’s important to realize that insurance companies are in the business of making profit, not paying out injury claims. If it looks like you are going to cost them a considerable amount of money, or if they think they can get away with lowballing your settlement, they will very likely attempt to devalue or deny your claim. This is when having an experienced lawyer in your corner could greatly benefit you, your family, and your future.
