A workers’ compensation case can be complex and the number of benefits that can be awarded can often be very greatly increased by a competent attorney. The insurance company is not trying to maximize the award to the injured worker. They are trying to do the opposite and pay as little as possible. The purpose of an attorney is to maximize the benefits for the injured worker and to make sure that they get a fair and just release.
When a person who is at work has an injury caused by a specific incident, it is referred to as a specific injury. For example, lifting a heavy object or falling down. They differ from cumulative injuries, which occur over a period of time. Many specific injuries are caused by things that people do not think will be covered by workers’ compensation. A person can be in a car and traveling, getting something for their employer, or they could be on a work break. In many cases, those injuries are compensable.
The reason an injured worker needs an attorney is because the goal of the insurance company is to pay as little as possible in the case. The goal of the attorney is to get the maximum out of the case. The insurance companies are multi-billion-dollar corporations that train their personnel well. They will often try to get an injured worker to accept a settlement that is far less than case value and will often not pay the benefits that the injured worker is entitled to.
The insurance companies know that if an attorney is involved the case will be handled well and that if they do not pay what they should pay, it can be taken to trial. While over 90% of workers’ compensation cases are settled, it is important that the insurance company knows that the settlement must reflect the fair value of the case or a judge will decide.
