Injury Was Severe
A minor cut or a twisted ankle may not be severe enough to warrant a huge lawsuit. However, if your injury is significant enough that it requires surgery or forces you to miss a lot of work, then you need to make sure you are getting all your benefits.
Claim Was Denied
It is not unheard of for employers to deny a claim and assume the worker will not file an appeal. If you require assistance getting all of the damages you are owed, then an attorney can help with this process.
You Do Not Feel Comfortable Representing Yourself
Going through all the forms associated with workers’ comp can be quite an undertaking. An employer may try to get you to agree to something you do not fully understand. If you need help making sense of this entire situation, talk to an attorney.
It never hurts to give an attorney a call in order to review your options and see what the best course of action is. Visit The Law Offices of James B. Gillespie, Jr., PLLC in Wilmington to find lawyers who are willing to assist you with your workers’ compensation or personal injury case.
