Should You Trust Them?
On-the-job injuries are, unfortunately, a commonplace consequence of the contemporary working environment. Equally common is an employer telling you after you’re injured at work, that, since they have workers’ compensation insurance, there’s no need to call a lawyer. The logic these employers use is that since workmen’s compensation prevents an injured worker from suing their employer, there is nothing that a workplace injury attorney can do to help. In many cases, it’s true that the injured worker cannot sue the employer. However, while filing an injury claim with your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance, an attorney’s help can be invaluable. If you’re injured at work, it’s likely that the workers’ compensation insurance will compensate you for your injury. But how much you get paid depends on dozens of factors, chief among them how well your claim is documented and processed. Many employers, after the injury of an employee, might be too caught up running the business to focus on properly documenting your accident. If your injury was the result of your employer or other co-workers, there likely will not be any interest in properly detailing how the accident happened. At the Law Offices of William F. Underwood, we will do everything we can to make sure that your claim gets processed in a proper, timely fashion. We’ll also help you determine which doctors or treatments the workers’ compensation insurance will accept. Not only that, but if the workers’ compensation insurance employees
don’t want to authorize a treatment essential to your recovery, we’ll help you present your case in the best, strongest way possible. There may even be a possibility for a lawsuit you had not considered. Being at home, injured and alone, can be overwhelming, but with the right workers’ compensation attorney, you can be confident that you have someone looking out for your best interest.
