Mississippi Workers' Compensation Attorney
After a work place injury, your employer's HR department may offer to help you obtain Workers' Compensation benefits. While this may seem to be for your benefit, remember that your employer's human resources department represents the company's best interest.
You are strongly encouraged to consult a skilled Workers' Compensation lawyer of your own to ensure that your claim is handled in a timely manner and accurately reflects the extent of your injuries. For a free initial consultation at James K. Wetzel & Associates, P.A., contact us today.
Consider the following facts about Workers' Compensation and workplace injuries:
- Most Workers' Comp claims are rejected the first time, and many are also refused the second time around. Therefore, appeals must be filed.
- An experienced Workers' Compensation lawyer can be a valuable source of information and can help with your appeal.
- Many workplace injuries involve someone else's liability besides the employer. This may mean that in addition to a Workers' Comp claim, you may be able to bring a claim against an equipment manufacturer or a subcontractor whose negligence contributed to your injury.
- After a denial of your Workers' Compensation claim, there is a limited period of time available in which to request an administrative hearing of appeal.
