Has a worker ever been injured or disabled on the job? The short answer is -Yes. Accidents at the workplace are pretty common nowadays – be it a back injury from lifting heavy boxes or a broken arm because of slippery stairs. If a work-related injury has left someone incapacitated, a workers’ compensation attorney can help recover losses from these injuries, including medical bills and lost wages.
Is a lawyer worth the cost? This is one of the most common questions that comes to mind whenever a person is injured because of somebody else’s fault or negligence. People are likely to get a much higher settlement offer when a lawyer is involved. They understand the laws, know how to negotiate, and can use various tools to build up the case.
Matthew Garling, from Garling & Co., shared some useful tips that can help in choosing the perfect compensation lawyer. Here are some of those tips:
Take the time to do the research – not all lawyers are the same but choosing the lawyer that can put the case in a good position will help achieve the best result.
Make a shortlist of lawyers who specialise in personal injury law, accredited by the Law Society.
Take time to speak with each of these lawyers.
Give them the particulars of the case and ask for their recommendations. They should be able to immediately tell if the injured have a claim and what they estimate it is worth.
Ask them to advise how long the claim will take, approximately.
Ask how much it will cost to run the case and how they charge, lump sum or hourly.
It’s highly recommended to choose a lawyer who charges on a lump-sum basis, so the client knows what to expect from the outset.
Lastly, choose the lawyer one can communicate best with. It is a long process, and it is vitally important to have confidence in the lawyer a person chooses.
The right lawyer will be able to tell if the injured have a case and provide the right advice to achieve the best possible results for their clients.
