Navigating Workers’ Compensation Can Be Complex: Should I Hire a Lawyer?
When it comes to workers’ compensation claims, the path forward isn’t always clear-cut. While some cases are easily resolved between workers and claims administrators, others can be complex and benefit from legal guidance.
It’s important to note that consulting an attorney doesn’t come with upfront charges. Instead, a portion of your workers’ compensation benefits will cover their fee. If you opt not to seek legal representation, you can still find assistance from Information and Assistance officers at your local Division of Workers’ Compensation office.
Whether or not you opt for legal representation, it’s essential to understand your rights and obligations. Maintain open lines of communication with your employer and claims administrator, and feel empowered to seek clarification when needed. While local Information and Assistance (I&A) officers offer valuable assistance, their scope of representation pales in comparison to that of a dedicated lawyer. That’s why securing the services of a California workers’ compensation attorney at the earliest opportunity is paramount.
Did you know?
- For recorded assistance, dial 1-800-736-7401 or reach out to the Information and Assistance Unit.
- Remember, there's no obligation to accept offers from claims administrators. You have the right to negotiate. If agreement proves elusive, a workers’ compensation judge can step in to adjudicate. The judge will determine the benefits you’re entitled to, issuing a written decision known as a Findings and Award.
- Seeking legal counsel can streamline the process. Attorneys specializing in representing injured workers are termed applicants’ attorneys. Importantly, they don’t charge you directly. Instead, a portion of your workers’ compensation benefits will cover their fee.
