Not every workers’ compensation case requires the assistance of an attorney. A straightforward case that includes a fair and prompt response by your employer to a minor injury or illness would make hiring a lawyer unnecessary. Still, even in relatively simple cases, obtaining a consultation from an expert attorney never hurts. Your free consultation with MGDP will acquaint you with the laws pertaining to workers’ comp, provide advice, and warn you of potential red flags. You might not need a workers’ compensation lawyer if:

• You missed little or no work due to your injury or illness.
• Your injury is minor, such as a cut that requires just a few stitches.
• You have no pre-existing conditions that affected the part of your body injured on the job.
• Your employer does not contest that claim.

However, more complicated claims or a denial of a legitimate claim require the counsel of a proven, experienced workers’ compensation attorney in Canton Ohio. Some red flags include:

• Denial of your workers’ comp claim or a delay in your benefit payment. Unfortunately, the initial response of some employers is to reject even bona fide claims, hoping the injured worker will not file an appeal. In these cases, it is worth speaking with an attorney. An MGDP lawyer costs you nothing unless you receive compensation.
• An offer that is low. A settlement offer, even one signed by a workers’ compensation judge, might not be all you are entitled to. A fair offer should cover all of your medical expenses and lost wages.
• Your ability to work is affected. If you are disabled by a workplace injury, you might qualify for additional payments to compensate for lost wages. In these cases, having a competent and experienced workers’ compensation attorney on your side is crucial to your and your family’s long-term financial future.
• Your employer retaliates. Sadly, some injured workers face intimidation and retaliation from their workplace. Being fired, demoted, or having your pay or hours cut are illegal practices. You need a lawyer on your side in these cases.
