Getting Started with a Lawyer
No doubt being injured on the job and unable to work like you did before is stressful. You’ve got medical bills to pay and a future to plan. But approaching your workers’ compensation case like you’re nervous or anxious can be a mistake.
Frequently clients feel that they change their course if they take down the insurance company that denied their claim. Though for you, it’s understandably personal—it’s your life that’s on the line. But for the insurance company, it’s just business, and whether they were right or wrong to deny your claim will not make or break the company. Rather than focusing on hurting them, we want to focus on helping you. Bringing your case before an Arbitrator who will make an appropriate ruling is the better way to deal with the insurance company.
Because of the pressure of what’s at stake, we also see clients censor themselves when speaking to their attorneys. Apparently there’s a concern that if they tell us everything they could be burned by it. This is absolutely not the case. Not only are we legally required to keep our conversations confidential and not do anything to hurt your case, but we wouldn’t want to see anyone’s situation made worse by talking with a lawyer. We are here to get you going on the right track to healing and recovery.
So the best thing you can do is be open and honest with us so we can fully analyze your situation. We will go through the facts of your case and the possible outcomes. Lawyers are there to help your case progress to get you the benefits you are legally entitled to. So there shouldn’t be any reason to be fearful and feel you need to question everything you say.
Though no lawyer can guarantee any particular result in a case, we can promise that we will listen carefully, analyze your situation, and keep everything you say in confidence and after that we will give you a blunt, honest assessment of what you are dealing with.
