When Should I Contact a Personal Injury Attorney?
You should contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after you’ve been injured. Whether your injury is from a car accident, a workplace incident, or any other situation where another party’s negligence is to blame, understanding your legal options quickly is key. Although the statute of limitations (time limit) is two years, an early start means preserving vital evidence like accident reports, accident scene photos, medical records, and everything else you need to file a personal injury claim.
An attorney can also protect you from the get-go, dealing with insurance companies and the negligent parties on your behalf. Your focus should be on your health- let a professional handle the legal side and secure the financial recovery you need for your injuries, loss of income, and other damages. Don’t wait until it’s too late to get the fair settlement or verdict you need.
Do I Need a Lawyer for a Workers’ Compensation Claim?
Yes, having a lawyer for a workers’ compensation claim can significantly benefit you. While it’s possible to navigate the process on your own, an experienced attorney can make a big difference. They understand the legal system and can ensure your claim is filed correctly and on time.
A lawyer will advocate for your rights after a workplace accident, aiming to get you the maximum benefits for your injury, including medical expenses and lost wages. They’re also invaluable if your claim is denied, as they can guide you through the appeals process.
Dealing with the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation, self-insured employers and the relevant paperwork can be overwhelming when you’re trying to recover from an injury. An attorney takes on these burdens, allowing you to focus on healing. In short, a lawyer not only increases your chances of a successful claim but also gives you peace of mind during a challenging time.
Oftentimes an employer or the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation will rush to “allow” an injured worker’s claim. However further examination reveals that the claim has only been recognized for relatively minor injuries when there are more serious injuries that have been sustained by the injured worker. Our attorneys review these claim allowances to make sure that all necessary medical conditions are included so that all appropriate medical care and compensation will be provided. It is important that this step is taken before it is too late.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
A personal injury lawyer typically doesn’t cost you anything upfront. Most lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if you win your case or settle out of court. The fee is usually a percentage of your financial recovery.
This setup allows you to seek the financial compensation you need without worrying about upfront costs or hourly rates. It also means your lawyer is motivated to get you the best possible outcome. Before hiring an attorney, ensure you understand their fee structure and any potential costs you might face if your case is successful. This transparency ensures no surprises and a clear understanding of your financial arrangement.
What Mistakes Should I Avoid With My Workers’ Compensation Claim?
Below are three common mistakes most people make with their workers’ compensation claims:
- Not following doctor’s orders and the direction of medical care. Doctors take an oath to provide medical care and we have never met a doctor that doesn’t want to see an individual get better. Listen closely, but remember, doctors are human just like us, and they have sometimes hundreds of patients; ask a lot of questions to be sure your doctor understands your conditions clearly.
- Believing the claims adjuster is their friend. The claims adjuster works for the insurance company funding workers’ compensation and their job is to reduce the expense. If you would like some tips on how to speak with a claims adjuster, speak with one of our Columbus workers’ compensation lawyers where your conversation is confidential and protected by the attorney /client privilege. Together we’ll make sure you are not taken advantage of.
- Settling your workers compensation claims without speaking to a workers’ compensation lawyer. There are many nuances and details to your case. Follow-up care and future needs should be thoroughly considered, and our workers’ compensation lawyers have helped thousands of people who have been in your shoes before. Life is short and can be painful if not properly considered. Together let’s make sure you get everything you need.
