Have You Been Injured on the Job?
While you may not need an attorney to represent you now, it is important to at least discuss your workers' compensation case with one to make certain you are going in the right direction. Typically, you will not need representation unless you have a denied claim or your employer is attempting to terminate or modify your benefits.
At Abes Baumann, we are happy to answer questions early on, at no cost to you, and then stand beside you if any issues arise.
Keep an Eye on the Deadlines
One of the most important benefits of discussing your case with a lawyer is that a lawyer can educate you about the many deadlines involved in workers' comp matters. There are deadlines to file notice of the workplace injury with your employer, deadlines to file petitions and even deadlines to return documents. Missing a deadline can put your work accident case in serious jeopardy. We won't let that happen.
Optimize Your Chances of Recovery
While getting workers' compensation is obviously crucial, you also want to make certain that you get good medical care. Throughout the years, we have come to know who the good doctors are and we are happy to point them out to you.
