- Timing is Everything: When to Get a PA Workers’ Comp Lawyer You’ve been injured at work in Pennsylvania, and you’re thinking about hiring a lawyer. You may be wondering if you should wait until your claim is denied or if you should act sooner. This video will explain why the best time to hire a workers’ compensation attorney is as soon as possible after your injury.
- Act Early to Avoid Mistakes: We’ll explain that the sooner you hire an attorney, the sooner we can guide you through the initial steps. We can help you:
- Properly report your injury to your employer.
- Navigate the company doctor list and your medical treatment.
- Ensure all paperwork is filed correctly.
- Avoid common mistakes that can jeopardize your claim from the start.
- Proactive vs. Reactive: We’ll contrast being proactive with being reactive. If you wait until your claim is denied, you are already in a defensive position. If you hire a lawyer early, we can work to prevent a denial from happening in the first place.
- The Insurance Company is Already Working: We’ll remind viewers that the insurance company begins its investigation immediately after they are notified of your injury. They are already working to build a case against you. Don’t let them get a head start.
- Free Consultation: We’ll emphasize that most workers’ compensation law firms, including ours, offer a free, no-obligation consultation. There is no risk in speaking with an attorney early to understand your rights and options.
This video is for any injured worker in Pennsylvania who is wondering about the right time to hire a workers’ compensation attorney.
