How Do You Know if You Should Get an Attorney for an Injury Sustained at Work?

A common question after sustaining an injury at work is “Should I get an attorney?” The answer is yes! It is important to seek the advice of an experienced worker’s compensation attorney to know your rights and to make sure things are handled appropriately. Still, many people fear to hire an attorney for reasons such as the following.

1. They are afraid of how much an attorney will cost.
2. They are not sure if they really need a lawyer so they don’t even bother to talk to one.
3. They have issues trusting lawyers so they don’t want one.
4. They believe their employer will handle all the paperwork to get them fair compensation for any injuries sustained while at work. This is usually never the case.
5. They fear their employer will retaliate against them and treat them poorly.
6. The insurance company told them they would end up with less money if they hire an attorney. This is absolutely false.
