A workplace injury disrupts every aspect of a person’s life, and trying to obtain workers’ compensation benefits can be a stressful experience while also dealing with physical pain, financial uncertainty and a number of other upsetting realities. The good news is that you don’t need to do it on your own.
If you are struggling to receive the workers’ compensation benefits you deserve, or if the process feels too tough to navigate on your own, a workers’ compensation attorney can help. Here’s what you should consider when choosing a workers’ compensation attorney.
The process to receive workers’ compensation can be confusing, and even individuals who deserve compensation may be denied. A workers’ comp lawyer specializes in workers’ compensation cases and acts as an advocate for an injured worker in the fight for the benefits they deserve.
A workers’ compensation attorney can be useful in a number of scenarios, including when a claim is denied, when you have a pre-existing condition, or when you are struggling to receive the medical care you need.
There are many different kinds of law an attorney can practice, each with their own distinct processes and quirks. Make sure you pick an attorney who specializes in workers’ compensation, as they will have the knowledge, relationships, and expertise needed to make the strongest case possible.
Workers’ comp laws can also vary from state to state. Choosing an attorney with experience in your area will help ensure a solid understanding of local laws and help you get the outcome you deserve. With 15 years of experience handling workers’ compensation cases in Wisconsin, Attorney Rachel Fitzgerald is well-equipped to guide injured workers through the legal process.
A workplace injury impacts much more than a person’s finances, and at the end of the day, your health and well-being should be top priority. A good attorney will work with this in mind, advocating not only for fair financial compensation but also for quality medical treatment and relevant accommodations that are within your rights as an injured worker.
Your attorney will be your closest confidante and greatest ally throughout the legal process, and it is important to choose someone who makes you feel comfortable and respected. You should be able to speak honestly with your attorney and ask questions without fear, and a good attorney will explain things in a way that is clear and understandable to you. Workers’ compensation cases can be exhausting and overwhelming, and having an attorney you can trust will make a world of difference.
