Does Someone Injured Need To Have An Attorney?
H. Bright Lindler prosecutes both workers compensation cases and personal injury cases for working people. At times, you can have a workers’ compensation case and a personal injury case – all in one. Mr. Lindler will review your case to determine if you have both claims in one case. Mr. Lindler practices in both North Carolina and South Carolina.
Just because Worker’s Compensation is sending you checks and paying for medical treatment, do not believe you are necessary safe. All Worker’s Compensation Carrier’s bide their time and ‘pick’ their moment to attack your right to benefits. An attorney can help you prepare for what you cannot see coming. Do not be lulled into a false sense of security. After all, most of the time, Workers’ Comp has chosen the doctors, not you.
Attorneys know the doctors that will provide you good medical care and treat you fairly in your legal case (Doctors have a major impact in virtually all cases). If you do not have access to this information, you will be at a disadvantage.
Whether in a personal injury case or an injury on the job case, an Insurance Company or a Risk Management Department at a health care facility knows their rights and your rights, even if you do not know your rights. While these entities will not tell you, they will use their superior knowledge to protect themselves at your expense..
Most workers’ compensation cases that succeed have two elements: an attorney with knowledge of the law and your rights, and a keen sense of the dirty tricks the employers use to defeat your case. An experienced workers’ compensation attorney can spot these dirty tricks before they hurt your case.
