Why Do I Need An Attorney to File a Workers Compensation Claim?
It's really quite simple. Workers Compensation laws are continually changing. Since the law in effect on the date of your injury will usually control the benefits that are payable, it is important to have an attorney who is experienced in this area of the law in order to properly advise you of your legal rights.
The Brian Law firm looks for every possible avenue to help you recover the benefits due to you and for payment of legal expenses by the employer whenever possible. In extreme cases of serious or catastrophic personal injury, a negligent third party situation, (ie. defective manufacturing, or an improper safety device) could render an additional party at fault. The expertise of a lawyer is crucial in these cases. Particularly in a situation where a timely gathering and preservation of evidence requires immediate attention.
What is the Difference Between Workers Compensation and a Disability Claim?
Workers Compensation Insurance provides benefits for wage loss, medical expenses, permanent injury and rehabilitation to an employee injured during the course of employment.
The payable benefits and the system of payment, are determined by state law. The Workers Compensation court system is different than the one set up for personal injury and other civil claims. It is important to consult an experienced attorney who can explain the differences in detail and counsel you on what benefits you may be entitled to receive under the laws of your state.
