Should I get a lawyer?
Q) Should I get a lawyer?
A) Should you get a lawyer is a personal decision. If you have a dispute over a benefit, need for medical treatment or vocational rehabilitation services in all likelihood you will need a attorney. There are many cases that all benefits are paid as appropriate and no attorney is needed however, a lot of employees obtain an attorney for a comfort zone. Remember that when you file a claim it is you against your employer and your employer has an insurance company and these insurance companies have adjusters and attorneys that have years of experience in defending these cases. It's very unlikely that an insurance company will come knocking on your door and hand you a check and say "here were sorry you got hurt". That is highly unusual. So the short answer to your question is you should hire an attorney if you have a dispute or you feel you need someone working on your behalf protecting your interest.
