An adjuster from the insurance company will call you and offer you a settlement. DO NOT ACCEPT THE SETTLEMENT OFFER. TELL THE ADJUSTER YOU WANT TO SPEAK WITH AN ATTORNEY AND YOU WILL HAVE THE ATTORNEY CONTACT THEM.
If you have been injured on the job there is all sorts of liability involved that you can be compensated for. The adjuster's job is to settle the claim for the least amount they can, they are not looking out for your best interest.
What you need is a personal injury lawyer. They cost you nothing as they work for a portion of the liability settlement they get you which will be over and above what the workman's comp claim is worth. That claim only pays for your injury not their liability.
DO NOT TALK TO THE ADJUSTER OR ANYONE ABOUT YOUR WORKMANS COMPENSATION CLAIM. ENGAGE A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY AND LET THE ATTORNEY HANDLE ALL INQUIRES. YOU REFER ALL CALLS TO THE ATTORNEYS OFFICE. TRUST ME ON THIS I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS AND YOU GET SCREWED IF YOU TRY TO HANDLE THIS WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
