Q: You’ve been injured at work and the employer’s insurance carrier has issued a Denial of Workers’ Compensation or 21 days has passed since your injury, do I need a lawyer.

A: Yes. Only an experienced workers’ compensation attorney will know how to best handle your case and submit documentary evidence and present witnesses, both factual and medical, in order to permit a workers’ compensation Judge to decide your case favorably. In addition, there are numerous other steps in successfully handling these cases including arguing motions before the Judge and submitting legal briefs in support of your claim. Without the advantage of an experienced workers’ compensation attorney, you would be at a distinct disadvantage against the insurance company who will definitely have an experienced attorney representing their interests.
