Reasons You Should Hire a Lawyer
Workers' Compensation Attorneys in North Carolina
One of the smartest things that you can do after suffering a work-related injury is to hire one of our experienced workers' compensation attorneys at Ken Wayne & Associates.
Here are some of the reasons why you shouldn't go through this process alone:
You Need Someone to Guide You Through the Process — You have just been injured at work. The last thing you need to do is navigate a confusing legal process alone.
- This Is a Highly Specialized Area of the Law — The workers' compensation process is a technical area of the law that others might not understand.
- You Need Someone who Understands the Law — When selecting a lawyer to be on your legal team, hire a Board Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist to represent you.
- The Potential for Abuse is High — There are many different and highly complex areas of the workers' compensation process that are rife with opportunities for abuse.
- You Need Someone to Make Sure your Weekly Check is Correct — We often find an injured workers average weekly wage has been miscalculated and he or she is underpaid.
- You Need to Make Sure your Medical Bills are Paid on Time — We often see insurance companies do not pay medical bills in a timely fashion, which can affect your credit.
- You May Want to Obtain a Second Opinion — If you suffer from a permanent partial disability and receive a questionable impairment rating, you may want a second opinion from an independent doctor. We will help you select an appropriate doctor.
- You Need to Make Sure Your Future Medical Needs are Considered — How your case is settled will affect your right to obtain ongoing medical care. We will help you obtain the benefits that you need.
- You are on Light Duty - Your doctor says you can only work light duty, but your employer has no light duty work available; or you are terminated while on work restrictions.
- Get Help with Vocational Rehabilitation — If the insurance company hires a vocational rehabilitation specialist, we will meet with you and the specialist to develop an individualized rehabilitation plan and advise you throughout the process.
