Are you ready to get the compensation you deserve?
After a work injury, you may be facing a long road to recovery. Not only do you have to deal with the physical and emotional pain of your injuries, but you may also be facing financial difficulties if you're unable to work. The last thing you need to worry about is whether you have legal representation.
CAN I SUE FOR A JOB INJURY?
The answer to whether you can sue for a job injury depends on a few different factors. Generally, you aren’t allowed to sue your employer when you sustain an injury as a result of the company’s negligence. This is a tradeoff, you can’t sue when the employer is at fault, but you are eligible for workers’ compensation benefits no matter who is at fault.
However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For instance, if your injury was caused by a third party (such as a defective piece of equipment), you may also be able to sue that party.
Ultimately, whether you can sue for a job injury will depend on the specific circumstances of your case. If you have any questions or concerns, it’s best to speak with an experienced attorney who can help you understand your legal rights and options.
Do I Still Need a Lawyer for A Workers’ Comp Claim?
If you've been injured at work, you may be wondering if you still need a lawyer to help you with your workers' compensation claim. The answer is: it depends.
While you are entitled to benefits as an injured worker, the company that must provide coverage for these benefits may not be eager to pay out. It's a sad reality that, just because you're entitled to compensation, doesn't mean that you will receive it without a considerable amount of hassle and hard work.
In some cases, hiring a lawyer to help you with your workers' compensation claim can make the process easier and help you get the benefits you deserve. A lawyer can deal with the paperwork and red tape, negotiate with the insurance company, and represent you in court if necessary.
If you're not sure whether hiring a lawyer is right for you, the best thing to do is to speak to one for a consultation. He or she can assess your case and help you decide what to do next.
