Four Factors to Consider While Looking For a Work Injury Attorney

It is well known that California’s workers’ compensation system is notoriously difficult to navigate. Unless you are guided by an experienced work injury attorney, you might not be able to get the compensation you deserve.

Choosing the right California workers’ compensation attorney to handle your claim, however, is not an easy task, as you have so many options to choose from. To make your job easier, we have listed four key factors you should consider while choosing a California work injury attorney.

1. Specialization in Workers’ Compensation Law

The first thing you should consider while looking for a workers’ comp attorney is whether they specialize in workers’ compensation law or not. 

While a personal injury attorney might also be able to handle a workers’ compensation claim, they will never be able to bring the same level of legal knowledge and expertise. So, you should look for a work injury attorney who exclusively handles workers’ compensation claims.

2. Experience

When it comes to handling workers’ compensation claims, there is absolutely no substitute for experience. A young and inexperienced attorney – regardless of how knowledgeable they are – might struggle to handle a complicated claim – especially if the employer in question is deliberately trying to delay or deny the claim.

An experienced work injury attorney, on the other hand, will be able to spot the employer’s as well as the insurance company’s delaying tactics from a mile away and take the necessary steps to avoid unnecessary delays in the claims process.

Moreover, an experienced work injury attorney is likely to have handled claims similar to yours in the past. As a result, they will be able to handle your claim with confidence, negotiate with the insurance company aggressively, file an appeal if necessary, and help you get the compensation you deserve.

3. Track Record

All the legal knowledge and experience in the world do not matter if an attorney is not able to deliver the results you need. So, it’s crucial to look for a California workers compensation attorney with a track record of recovering substantial compensation for their clients.

4. Reputation 

What kind of reputation does the attorney enjoy in the legal community? This is an important question you need to ask while choosing a work injury attorney to handle your claim.

A reputable attorney would be willing to go the extra mile to win your case and help you get the compensation you deserve, as they would want to protect their hard-earned reputation at any cost. So, look for an attorney who regularly features on ‘Best Attorney’ lists and has been recognized and honored by professional organizations.

Consistently rated as one of the best workers’ comp attorneys in the state by the Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Magazine, and several other publications, Mr. Martin has a reputation for recovering substantial compensation for injured workers.
