Why Do I Need a Lawyer For a Workers’ Compensation Claim?
It is easy to get into unwanted and undeserved trouble as an injured worker. The workers’ compensation system is complicated. Your employer is required to follow the insurance company’s policies. The insurance company is represented by a team of attorneys. You should never have to face this process without your own legal representation.
Administrative Hearings are Trials
When you walk into an administrative hearing regarding your workers’ compensation claim, you are essentially walking into a courtroom. There is a judge presiding over the proceeding and there is a defense team representing the employer. You must present evidence and provide testimony at this hearing.
