Why Hire A Workers’ Compensation Lawyer?

After a crippling injury, the last thing you want is to think about is going to court. However, for many people injured in workplace accidents, ending up in court is all but a foregone conclusion. The harsh reality of the situation is that many of these people find themselves unprepared for court proceedings. These people plead their case only to find that neither their employer nor the court is willing to help them. Before they know it, these victims are left to fend for themselves in the wake of what could be a life-changing accident. Thankfully, there’s an easy way to prevent this; hiring a workers’ compensation lawyer.

Do You Need A Workers’ Compensation Lawyer?

There’s no legal need to hire a workers’ compensation lawyer for your case, and in some cases, you might be able to get what you want without one. For example, employers and other entities are more likely to pay out a fair sum for your injury in cases involving minor injuries with little to no legal contestation. You may be better off entering a court without a lawyer in these situations, but these situations are uncommon.

A Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Will Protect You

Most cases involving workers’ compensation result from employers who refuse to compensate their injured workers fairly. That means that if you were injured at your workplace, there’s a chance you won’t see a single dollar without a serious fight. To tip the scale of justice in your favor, you should consider hiring a workers’ compensation lawyer. The right lawyer will fight on your behalf to ensure that no employer can deny you. More importantly, a lawyer will be there to help protect you if your employer decides to retaliate against you.

The Right Lawyer Will Secure Proper Compensation

Let’s say, for a moment, that you received compensation for an injury you sustained. While this lump sum of cash may have served you well at first, the same may not be true in the future. Injuries often have consequences that reach far into the future. If these consequences were not immediately apparent when you received your compensation, you might later find that the extent of your injuries far outlives your settlement. In this case, you would need a workers’ compensation lawyer to help you renegotiate your settlement to include the far-reaching costs of your injuries, including work time lost and long-term medical bills.

Third-party Injury Claims

Suffering an injury in a workplace does not guarantee that you have a claim against your employer. However, people occasionally find that they can take legal action against third parties, including manufacturers of specific machinery. In these situations, you’ll need the help of a workers’ compensation lawyer to help you determine the cause of your injury, as well as you who can and can’t hold responsible.

Whatever Goes Wrong, You Can Be Sure We’ll Be There To Help You

When it comes to workers’ compensation cases, several issues could potentially derail your case. For example, an employer could claim fraud, let their workers’ compensation insurance lapse, dispute a decision, or any other such events could occur. However, when you have a workers’ compensation lawyer from The Law Offices Of John Hernandez, you’ll always have someone with the right solution to get you through. That is the true strength of a workers’ compensation lawyer; the ability to put you at ease while handling anything that comes their way.
