If you’ve been injured on the job and your ability to earn an income has been impeded as a result of the injury you most likely have many concerns--how to heal from your injury, support your family and pay your medical bills for starters. Having an experienced workers’ compensation attorney handling your case can remove many frustrating roadblocks and get you the benefits you need and deserve.

  3. Better Customer Service – there are many reasons why you might need to contact the claims adjuster for your case: slow or late to arrive mileage checks, authorization for medical tests and procedures, and just general questions regarding your case. Sadly, in many instances when an individual is not represented by an attorney, it can be difficult to get your calls returned and the action you need taken. Adjusters know that an attorney can escalate your case by calling for a hearing or filing a motion and therefore they are quick to answer the call and resolve issues promptly.
