Myths about Legal Representation

If you have suffered an injury on the job, you may need medical attention as well as time off of work to recover. Medical bills and lost wages can cost you thousands of dollars.

Common Myths

For whatever reason, there are a number of misconceptions regarding the role of an attorney in a workers’ compensation case. The following are some of the most common myths, along with the truth of the situation:

1. Attorneys are not necessary for workers’ compensation case – although technically true, those with legal representation are three times more likely to get benefits than those without
2. If I have a question about my case, I shouldn’t bother my attorney – some people are afraid to bother their attorneys with questions. And while there are many helpful resources online, they can never give you advice like an attorney can so do not hesitate to contact yours.
3. An attorney is only helpful if I need to file suit– a workers’ compensation attorney has a tremendous degree of familiarity with the worker’s comp claim filling and appeals process and can help you to avoid making potentially costly errors. Moreover, an insurance company may be less likely to try its luck with a claim where the injured worker is represented by a lawyer.
