Millions of Americans are injured in the workplace every year. While you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, along with additional resources if your injury is caused by an outside party, full recovery for a workplace accident can be challenging. Hi, I’m speaking on behalf of Hensley Legal Group, a personal injury law firm based out of Indiana. I’d like to discuss how workplace accident attorneys can help your claim. This may be your first work accident, but it won’t be the first for your workplace accident lawyers. They have probably handled many claims just like yours, and you can use that experience to your advantage. TITLE CARD: Educate You About Your Rights Seasoned attorneys can educate you about your rights and advocate on your behalf when those rights are not honored. Workplace accident lawyers will make sure that your claim is filed properly with the workers’ compensation agency in your state, which could give you a means of protecting that claim and redressing any issues that might come up. Your attorneys are also better equipped to meet the insurance company on a level playing field and respond to tactics designed to diminish the value of your claim. Moreover, your lawyers will fight to keep the insurance carrier honest, verifying that it grants you ALL of your benefits on time and taking action when it does not. Your legal team will be by your side during every proceeding, representing you at depositions, arbitrations, hearings, and appeals. Only by conveying the totality of your work-related losses can you hope to receive the maximum compensation owed to you under the law. Your attorneys will amass the materials needed to put together an airtight case and present it as thoroughly and compellingly as possible. Your lawyers will know what your claim is worth and will endeavor to equal or exceed that figure in a negotiated settlement or award. A denial could stop most novice claimants cold, but it will not stop proficient attorneys, who can marshal the evidence to counter that denial, whether during negotiations or at formal proceedings. While there are limits to how much can be obtained from your employer through a workers’ compensation claim, your lawyers may be able to identify and pursue other avenues of financial recovery, including a third party case against an outside individual or entity who contributed to your workplace accident.
