Working with a Workers’ Comp Lawyer

North Carolina law does not require an injured worker to hire a lawyer to file a workers’ compensation claim. The injured worker can file a claim himself, but due to the complex nature of the process, it is recommended that the worker at least consult with an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer to get an understanding of what he will be dealing with during the process.

Why Should You Consult With an Accidental Injury Lawyer?

The insurer is not working in your best interest, and it is not unusual for them to deny workers’ compensation claims. The insurance adjuster is a separate entity than your employer, whom you may have developed a good rapport with. The workers’ compensation adjuster may not have any compassion for you and your needs as their goal is to search for reasons to deny your claim and minimize their expense.

It is important to accurately gather all the facts of the incident before you proceed with the claim process. An experienced work injury lawyer can help you gather and organize these facts, so that you can establish a position of strength keeping your best interest in mind.
