When Do I Need A Workers’ Compensation Attorney?

Should You Try To “Do It Yourself?”

Nobody likes extra hassle. If you’ve been injured at work, the last thing you want is one more item — “call a lawyer” — on your to-do list. It’s understandable that you may want to handle your claim yourself, believing that you could save time and money by doing so. But in some cases, by trying to do everything yourself, you may actually be laying the groundwork for greater time commitment and expense. This is particularly true if you find yourself in a dispute with your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance company.

Experience Informs Our Approach

A lawyer familiar with the workers’ compensation process is more likely to be able to spot potential pitfalls and navigate the system more efficiently than someone who is encountering it for the first time. If you’re not sure if you need a lawyer, you have nothing to lose by taking advantage of a free consultation with our firm. Call (888) 309-5678 or write to us to consult with one of our knowledgeable workers’ compensation attorneys at Jacobs & Dow, LLC, in New Haven, Connecticut.

  • You have multiple jobs in which you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits.
  • Your job-related injury is old but gets re-injured.
  • Your injury involved a work-related motor vehicle accident.
  • You will need to have extensive medical treatment.
  • You’re having to fight to get necessary treatment paid for.
  • The injury caused facial scarring.
  • You work in a high-stress profession.
