When Is The Right Time To Get A Workers’ Compensation Attorney?
People who have sustained a work-related injury, which puts them out of work indefinitely, have immediate concerns. The first, and probably most important question is, will I be able to sustain myself, financially, while I’m out of work. This is precisely why Workers’ Compensation benefits exist; to provide financial, and medical, security while the injured employee remains out of work.
However, the period immediately following a work injury is an extremely confusing period. In addition to dealing with the actual injury and resultant medical care, workers’ compensation insurance companies almost instinctively swarm the injured employee with paperwork, forms, etc. This is because these insurance companies go to work immediately to try and defend themselves against a potential claim. That is why it is imperative that any injured employee contact an experienced workers’ compensation attorney as soon as possible.
