Should You Hire An Attorney For Your Workers’ Comp Claim?

Employers and insurers encourage injured workers not to hire an attorney. However, they have their own best interests in mind. Their goal is to close claims as quickly as possible for as little as possible. As such, they may not accurately or fully represent your entitlement to benefits or work restrictions. The Minnesota Workers’ Compensation Act is complex, with numerous required procedures, time limits and specifications that may result in the loss of benefits if not followed properly by the injured worker. You are at a disadvantage without an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer to ensure that your rights are protected and you receive the appropriate benefits.

Five Situations Where An Attorney Can Help You Out

Now that we’ve discussed why you need a workers’ compensation attorney, it’s important to understand what they can help with. A workers’ compensation attorney can be particularly helpful when your employer or their insurance company takes direct actions to prevent your access to workers’ compensation benefits. Your attorney can protect you when:

  • Your employer attempts to downplay the extent of your injuries
  • Your employer disregards your work restrictions during your recovery
  • Your employer retaliates against you for filing a workers’ compensation claim
  • Your settlement offer doesn’t cover your lost wages and medical bills
  • Your workers’ compensation claim gets denied

In these situations, it is all but impossible to defend yourself. At Bosch Law Firm, we have over three decades of experience going toe to toe with employers and insurers. We do our best to make them provide you with the resources you deserve for your recovery.

There is no charge for the initial consultation. Further, you would not pay any attorney fees unless there is a recovery of disputed benefits as a result of our involvement. In other words, as long as the insurance company continues to pay the appropriate benefits, you do not pay attorney fees even though you would obtain legal advice when you need it most … now. The decisions you make now may have a significant impact on your claim for additional benefits.
