How much are legal fees?Recovery from a bad wreck can involve more than just ER visits, X-rays, doctors, and rehab.  If you’ve been suffering through the process, wondering about your lost wages and bills, often the LAST thing you want to think about is litigation.  Are lawsuits required?

Not necessarily.

In fact, likely more-often-than-not, bringing a claim for damages against the person who caused the wreck ends prior to the actual filing of formal legal “pleadings.”

Do I need a lawyer?Retaining an attorney or law firm for legal representation may be an important first step in settling a claim for damages.  Establishing the attorney-client relationship may seem a bit overwhelming to start.  Knowing what to expect at the first office visit is a good place to start.

Of course, that assumes an office visit works for you.  Not everyone is well enough to meet with a lawyer at their office.

That’s one reason we will come to you.

A lot of NC workers comp claims focus on physical injury, but there are times when mental health becomes an issue. In fact, it can be one of the more complex types of workplace injury, particularly because not a lot is known about the condition in the general public and sometimes people don’t recognize they may be suffering from PTSD.

There were over 2 million cases of workplace injury and illness in 2016. Balance that with $193 billion in lost earnings annually because of mental illness, and the price tag is steep.

If you’ve been injured on the job or suffer a work-related illness, you might be entitled to worker’s compensation benefits. Unfortunately, insurance companies and employers often don’t allow workers comp claims, even when you’re clearly in the right. This leaves vulnerable employees at the mercy of a complicated system of appeals.

Compensation lawyers will give you a much higher chance of getting the benefits you deserve. They will talk with the worker’s comp insurer as your representative, get evidence to back up your claims, and negotiate a solid settlement.

The lawyers working for your employers and the insurance companies are not working in your best interest. They won’t think twice about rejecting your claim under suspicious circumstances.
