Hiring a workplace accident lawyer can help you receive the workers’ compensation benefits you are entitled to following an injury at work. An employee who is injured at work is entitled to worker’s comp benefits.
This is the case whether a specific incident caused the injury or it was caused due to cumulative minor injuries to a body part that cumulatively, add up to an injury requiring time off of work or medical care. Typically, those body parts can include hands and back but there are many more incidents that workers’ comp benefits cover.
Working with a workers’ comp attorney can help ensure your workers’ comp claim is approved and you receive the maximum benefits you are entitled to. This is highly recommended over choosing to do it by yourself.
Workers who attempt to go through the claims process on their own generally end up having their claim denied due to issues like missed deadlines, lacking proper evidence, and many more difficult factors.
By working with an experienced California workers’ compensation lawyer, you will help protect your claim from common challenges. They can also help take your claim to trial if it becomes necessary.

Why Hire A Workplace Accident Lawyer?
The right workplace accident lawyer will have a deep understanding of the benefits you are entitled to. They also will have an idea of the amount of money you should receive based on the type of injury you sustained.
The workers’ comp attorney can also help you learn about additional benefits that you may not be aware of. Factors they consider include: whether you suffered permanent disability, or even temporary disability be it total or partial, insuring you will be covered for the expense of past and future treatment costs, and many other factors.
Additionally, workers comp lawyers have an understanding of how the insurance companies work. Typically, insurance companies will only offer injured workers the lowest amount of compensation possible.
Your workers’ comp attorney will aggressively negotiate with the insurance companies to ensure you are given the full amount that you are entitled to. Once a settlement is reached, it must be approved by a judge in a workers comp hearing.
The workers’ comp attorney will represent you and defend your rights during the workers’ comp hearing. They will present all necessary evidence, call witnesses when necessary, and argue why your settlement should be a certain amount.
Lastly, they can help you appeal your case in the event your claim is denied. They will work with you and keep you updated every step of the way.
