Oklahoma Workers' Compensation Law Library TOPIC: Choosing a Workers Comp Attorney

A workers’ compensation case is very difficult to navigate without the help of a skilled Oklahoma City workers compensation lawyer like James Self. Not all lawyers are equal in their skill and some lawyers say they are a workers’ compensation lawyer, but they do not have the knowledge and experience needed to successfully handle your case. You will want to have a great lawyer on your side to help you fight the insurance company and their lawyers.

Insurance companies want to negotiate the least amount of compensation possible. They may offer you an amount that is much lower than you are entitled to. Handling your case on your own may cause you to settle for a low amount. A skilled lawyer will fight to make sure you get the amount you deserve and will protect your rights in your workers’ compensation case.

Choosing the right workers’ compensation lawyer depends on the lawyers experience with workers’ compensation and if you feel you can work well with this lawyer. It is a good idea to schedule consultations with lawyers to help you decided which lawyer is right for your case. In your consultation, the workers’ compensation lawyer will answer all of your questions about his experience and the types of cases he has handled. He will also evaluate your case and explain your rights and what actions should be taken.

He should also be easy to work with and will make sure all of your claim paperwork is filed properly and on time. Your lawyer will speak directly to the insurance company so you do not have to receive harassing calls or hear inadequate offers for compensation. Your lawyer should do everything he can to protect your rights and get you the compensation you need and deserve for your on-the-job injury.
