Los Angeles Workers Compensation Appeals Board Lawyer

Permanent or Disabling Injury? Claim for Benefits Denied or Disputed?

Why hire a workers' compensation lawyer — and when is it necessary? Insurance disputes that require a fight for the benefits you deserve are common. Some people do become victims of wrongful termination because they have been injured and filed a claim. You likely need counsel and protection from a skilled, knowledgeable California workers' compensation attorney if:

• Your injury or work-related illness is serious, long-term and/or potentially disabling
• Your workers' comp claims has been unfairly denied, or you are suffering due to delays in payment of the benefits you need
• You have been fired since filing the claim — or you have reason to believe you will not be allowed to return to work in a comparable position
• You are dealing with harassment from the insurance company or your employer, including being followed by an investigator or sent to an independent medical examiner
• You are being sent to the company's doctor, who is biased toward the employer, perhaps not an M.D., and certainly not a specialist in the area required for proper assessment and treatment of your injury

Perhaps the most important reason to hire a workers' compensation lawyer is that your ability get proper medical care for your work injury and achieve maximum recovery may depend on it. All such situations call for a workers compensation lawyer who understands the rating tables and other complex aspects of the workers compensation filing, appeal and litigation processes.
