Workers’ Compensation
Reasons for Retaining Counsel It is extremely important for a worker who has been injured on the job and is unable to work for a period of time to consult with proper legal counsel. Although a worker does not necessarily need an attorney in every situation, the failure to hire counsel when an injury or loss of time at work warrants having counsel involved, will likely result in the injured worker losing substantial financial benefits.
The following are common examples of benefits that injured workers failed to receive:
Employee may miss getting a PPD rating or at least an appropriate one;
Employee will not have an opportunity to challenge the choice of physician as effectively;
Employee will miss the chance to convert or effectively threaten to convert a case to a catastrophic case thereby losing substantial value in the claim at the time of settlement;
Employee will be placed in a position of returning to work when they are not physically capable and may re-injure themselves;
Employee will fail to secure a proper settlement at the end of their treatment and may find themselves out of work without a settlement; and,
Employee may end up having to pay back medical and wage benefits from a third- party liability claim when such payment could be avoided.
