Ultimately, if you are involved in a workers’ comp case, you should have a lawyer. The number one factor should be your comfort in communicating with your attorney. He or she should have time to spend with you and should be able to explain to you everything you need to know. You need to feel comfortable.
The comp lawyer should know doctors and other professionals whom you will see. He or she should also be able to handle all of the documents in the case and argue on your behalf to insurers, defense counsel, and the Workers’ Compensation Commission.
