How to find a workers’ compensation attorney

Are you searching for a workers’ compensation attorney? The following are some tips to help you find an experienced lawyer in your area.

Ask for recommendations

The easiest way to identify a workers’ compensation attorney near you is to ask friends, family or even lawyers you know for recommendations. Ask them if they know of an attorney in the area that specializes in representing workers that have been injured. Lawyers can help you identify attorneys they know that are experienced and skilled.

Search online

Another easy way to find a workers’ compensation attorney is to search online. Online directories that list lawyers in your area are a great place to start. Search through your state bar association’s website for listings of lawyers in your area. You can also search through websites for lawyers in your area.

Visit an attorney

It is important to visit at least three attorneys for consultation. Many workers’ compensation attorneys offer free consultation services. You can discuss your case with the attorneys and listen to their feedback. The attorneys will tell you whether you have a case or not. They will also outline how they would approach the case.

What to look for in a workers’ compensation attorney

You will come across several workers’ compensation attorneys in your search for an attorney. It is important to note that not every attorney is right for your case. Visiting at least three workers’ compensation attorneys will help you identify the right attorney to represent you. The following are some factors to consider in order to find the right lawyer for your case.

Area of specialization

It is important to choose an attorney that specializes in workers’ compensation. You must distinguish a workers’ compensation attorney from attorneys that dabble in this area of law. Workers’ compensation attorneys are those that specialize in representing victims of work related injuries. They have extensive experience representing injured workers. They have an in-depth understanding of workers’ compensation laws. They know how best to approach insurance companies and employers in seeking compensation.

It is also important to ask the attorney about the type of cases they have handled. Choose an attorney that has successfully represented cases similar to your own. This will improve your chances of making a successful claim.

Their approach to your case

Visiting an attorney for consultation gives you the opportunity to learn about their approach to seeking compensation. Do they think you have a case? Are they enthusiastic about your case? How much do they estimate your claim to be worth? What steps will they take to get compensation? What will they do if the claim is denied? Are there are other sources of funds that they can help you seek?

Their fees

Workers’ compensation attorneys often charge for their services on a contingency fee basis. This means the attorney only gets paid when you are compensated for your injuries. The attorney will take a percentage of your compensation.
It is also important to ask about what costs you will be liable for. Some costs may not be included in your attorney’s fees. These may be transferred to you and be deducted separately from the compensation you receive. Ensure that any extra costs are made known before you hire your attorney.

Their communication skills

Communication is vital for the success of your case. This is especially because workers’ compensation cases can be very sensitive. It is important to choose an attorney that you not only feel comfortable working with but that also listens to you. This will make it easier for you to share information about your case. It will also ensure that your input is considered in how the attorney approaches the case. It can be distressing to hire an attorney that isn’t willing to listen or that you don’t feel comfortable talking to.

The short answer is yes, you should care because it’s going to affect the statute of limitations on your claim. It’s important to define what a political subdivision is that way, you know where your claim lies.

A subdivision is city, county, villages, schools, certain administrative agencies. All those are treated under the act differently. Now, if you do sustain an injury or an accident with one of those individuals that I’ve named, then you have one year from the date of your injury to file a written notice, written claim to that subdivision. If you don’t, then your claim is forever barred. Read More

That depends on you, specifically in regards to the length of time it takes for your injuries to improve, how long it takes to get to a point where we can reasonably determine what your future looks like, what additional medical care you require, the cost of such medical care and what permanent restrictions or impairments you have.

The answer to that is almost universally no. The reason for that is the insurance companies like to get in early and offer you a lowball offer in the hopes that they can get you to sign a release of liability waiver. Once that happens, you’re out of luck.

The reason that they send these lowball offers is because you haven’t had a chance yet to properly evaluate your claim. You might still be treating, you might need future medical. There’s also the possibility that you’ve been permanently damaged and you need a doctor to assess that. Read More

Maximum medical improvement or MMI is the point in your injury where you’re about as good as you’re going to get which means you’re not likely to get much better and you’re not likely to get much worse.

It doesn’t mean that you’re all the way better and so for that reason, maximum medical improvement is the point at which your permanent disability benefits are determined. Read More

In order to answer that question, we have to know the specific facts of your case. A lot of factors go into the value of a workers’ compensation case.

First of all, money benefits that are paid to you are based on your wages before the accident. That amount is used then to determine both your temporary disability benefits and your permanent disability benefits. Read More

Yes, it can. In order to modify a child custody order, you have to show what’s called a material change in circumstances.

Now, simply stated what that means is something has to happen. An unanticipated change that if the judge or the parties knew about it when they made the original order, they would have decided differently. Read More

Well, it depends on two things.

First of all, who are you suing and second of all, what are you suing them for? If it’s just general negligence and you’re suing a private person or corporation, it’s four years from the date of accrual of the claim or the date of the accident. Read More
