When You Should Consider Hiring a Workers Comp Lawyer

You should definitely talk to a lawyer if:

  • Your claim is denied or delayed.

  • You have a serious injury (e.g., surgery, long-term disability).

  • You’re getting less than you think you deserve.

  • You’re being asked to return to work before you’re ready.

  • Your employer retaliates against you for filing a claim.

  • Your injury involves a third party (like a contractor or equipment manufacturer).

  • You’re being asked to settle your claim.
