What a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Should Offer You

Handling your own workers’ compensation claim can be a daunting task – to put it mildly. The insurance company – and even your employer in many cases – might try to impede the claims process or deny your claim altogether – based on the flimsiest of reasons. This is why it is important for you to be represented and guided by a skilled California workers’ compensation lawyer.

In this article, we take a look at three things an experienced work injury lawyer should be able to offer you. 

1. Personalized Legal Advice

It goes without saying that not every workers’ compensation claim is the same. Two workers who have suffered the exact same injury could be treated differently by their employer and the insurance company – depending on the circumstances under which the accident happened and various other factors.

So, the California workers’ compensation lawyer who represents you should be able to take your unique circumstances into account and offer you personalized legal advice at every step of the claims process.

2. Aggressive Representation at The Negotiation Table 

Ask anyone who has ever filed a workers’ comp claim and they will tell you that insurance adjusters are among the shrewdest, most aggressive people you will ever meet. This is because the adjuster represents the insurance company and is paid to do whatever they can to reduce the value of your claim – or deny it outright in some cases – to the highest extent possible. The less they pay you, the more money the insurance company can save.

This is why the workers’ compensation lawyer who represents you should be equally aggressive and should be willing to stand up to the insurance company. They should not be afraid to call the insurance adjuster’s bluff if the compensation offered is too low and should not shy away from taking your case to trial – if that is what it takes to get you the compensation you are entitled to.

3. Passionate Representation in Court

While a vast majority of workers’ comp claims are settled out of court, some claims do make it to an administrative hearing or trial. If and when it happens, the California workers’ compensation lawyer who represents you should be able to fight it out in court and recover the compensation you are entitled to under the law. 

A highly experienced attorney should be able to prepare the documentary evidence to support your claim, take depositions of witnesses, file pre-trial motions and petitions as and when needed, and make compelling arguments at the trial to get the compensation you deserve.
