Unfortunately, it
is not always easy to obtain benefits. There are several circumstances
where it is particularly important that you contact an attorney for
assistance.
-
An employer has denied that you
were injured while on the job,
-
You have been refused medical
treatment,
-
You have received a Notice of
Denial from the insurance company,
-
Compensation was promised but
has not materialized,
-
You are without income,
-
An employer or insurance
company has requested your deposition,
-
Your employer does not carry
compensation insurance,
-
A third party has caused your
accident
If you are an injured union worker
you are protected by both your union's contract with the employer and state
law. An experienced workers compensation lawyer can work with your union's
agreements to help you secure the benefits you need.
Only experienced attorneys can
advise you of the appropriate course of action to increase the probability
of winning your claim. Your attorney can also provide information on the
ways that claims can be settled including arbitration, mediation, and
collective bargaining. Again, a competent attorney will develop a strategy
to ensure the best results in your claim. It is important to remember that
if you retain an attorney because you have been denied benefits or face a
change in benefits, that law states that the majority of attorneys’ fees
will be paid by the Workers’ Compensation Insurer.
