Do I Need a Workers’ Compensation Attorney?

When we sit down with a potential client at Harris Guidi Rosner, P.A., to discuss the person’s work-related accident one of the most common questions we address is “Do I need a Workers’ Comp Attorney?”.

Here are the questions we usually ask to help determine if you may need an attorney to represent you regarding your work-related accident and claim:

Has your claim not been turned in by your employer to its insurance company?
Have you been paid timely and correctly for all your time you have missed from being out of work from your accident?
Are you receiving hospital, ambulance or other medical bills related to your accident that the insurance company is not paying?
Has the insurance company tried to tell you “your case is closed”?
Are there medical benefits, tests or specialists being recommended for you by your doctors that the insurance company is not authorizing?
Is the insurance adjuster not calling you back promptly or not calling you back at all?
Do you feel like you are being rushed back to work or that your work is not respecting your work restrictions from your authorized doctor?
Are you filing for and receiving your mileage?
Do you have questions about forms you have been asked to complete and sign for your employer or its insurance company?
If you have a nurse case manager assigned to you, is the nurse helpful to you or does it seem like the nurse has the insurance companies interests at heart?
Has the insurance company approached you to discuss settlement?
Do you need a translator at your medical appointments that you are not getting provided by the insurance company?
Do you have questions about returning to work and how it may impact your case?

If these are topics you would like to discuss your work-related accident, call us to talk about your case and if a workers’ compensation attorney may be helpful to you. The consultation is free.
