Why is it important to hire a worker’s compensation lawyer
when injured in a work place?
If you have you suffered a workplace injury and feel you are
entitled to compensation, it is always advisable to contact a workers’
compensation attorney to walk you through the legal process. He or she can
alert you of potential pitfalls, as well as give you an honest appraisal of
whether you can handle the case on your own.
I am considering a settlement agreement with my employer’s insurance company. What can I do to make sure that my rights are protected and that I receive full compensation?

I work in a chemical industry where I am exposed to complex chemicals every day. Recently, I have been suffering from skin rashes and itchy inflammation on my body. The doctor says that this is due to exposure to various chemicals. However, I'm not very sure how I can prove that. Can I file a claim for workers’ compensation?
ReplyDeleteIf you or your doctor suspect that your illness is related to work, you should file a workers' compensation claim. You do not have to prove the illness was caused solely by the exposure to a hazardous substance on the job, or solely by the specific work you do. However, you and your physician must be prepared to argue that your specific work or identified work-related exposure contributed to your illness.
