How Do I Know If I Need an Attorney About My Workers’ Compensation Claim?

You should contact an attorney if:

• Your company, employer or their insurance company didn’t correctly file your claim.
• Your claim has been denied.
• The insurance company is not willing to send you to a doctor or pay for medical services.
• Your employer alleges you are not covered by workers’ compensation.
• Your employer claims they don’t have workers’ compensation for their employees.
• You are being asked to return to work when you feel you need more treatment or have not fully recovered.
• Your prescriptions or treatment have been denied.
• You are not reimbursed for mileage to see authorized doctors.
• You’re not receiving your weekly checks in a timely manner.
• You have received a settlement offer from the insurance company and aren’t sure whether it is a fair amount.

Our attorneys will secure a doctor’s ratings as well as vocational expert testimony when necessary. We will review your claim and secure your medical records as well as documents to prove your workplace injury and the extent of your condition.
