Do You Need A Workplace Injury Attorney?

Home / Blog / Do You Need A Workplace Injury Attorney?

August 30, 2014 //  by Gregory Fox

Workplace injuries, depending on how severe, can have life-altering consequences.

Most workplaces in Fresno strive to provide as safe of an environment as possible, accidents can still occur. The risk of a workplace injury may also increase depending on the hazards involved with your occupation.

When accidents occur you may face an uncertain future when it comes to income, medical bills, and the effects of the injury. If you are entitled to worker’s compensation benefits or additional compensation, an experienced workplace injury attorney can help navigate you through the legal process.

What is a workplace injury?

A workplace injury or illness is one that occurs in relation to your job.

Most states narrow the definition of a workplace injury to those that arise out of and in the course of employment. This was established to prevent employees from pursuing compensation for injuries or illnesses that were not directly caused by the job.

A workplace injury or illness can occur due to an unsafe work environment, the premises are dangerous, the equipment is defective, or the workplace is contaminated with hazardous materials.

Jobs that require difficult movements such as labor intensive jobs or heavy lifting may also increase the likelihood of an injury.

How to choose a workplace injury attorney

If you have decided to file for compensation, you should consider meeting with an experienced and knowledgeable workplace injury attorney.

In most instances, a personal injury attorney will offer free consultations where you can discuss the details of your accident and have questions answered. You should take advantage of these free consultations as an opportunity to better get to know the attorney, ask questions that are important to you, and determine if you feel comfortable moving forward.

Your accident claim should not be left in the hands of an inexperienced attorney. You need a capable workplace injury attorney who can represent your case in the best manner possible. Some items you should consider include:

  • You want an attorney who has experience in workplace injury cases. An experienced attorney can help explain what you are entitled to and is better prepared to handle these types of cases. Based on their in-depth knowledge of workplace injury cases they can better outline what your chances of winning are and also what you may be entitled to when it comes to compensation.
  • You should seek out references and look for a personal injury attorney with a strong reputation.
  • When meeting with an attorney, especially during the initial consultation, you should always make sure that they were capable of answering your questions and communicating with you effectively. In order to achieve the best results you want a workplace injury attorney who can have honest and direct communication with you. It is important that you seek out an attorney who is capable of discussing your case in complete detail. It is also important that you work with an attorney who is responsive to phone calls and emails and who relays all important information to you immediately.
  • All available options should be explained to you by the attorney and you should feel confident that the attorney is working to the best of their ability on your behalf.

If you have suffered an on-the-job injury you may be entitled to compensation.

Speaking to a personal injury attorney who specializes in workplace injuries is essential to help protect your best interests.

You may be entitled to compensation to help with loss of income, medical expenses, and long term care expenses. An experienced attorney can help you through the complicated, stressful, and overwhelming process of working through the laws and regulations involved in workplace injuries.
