Coping with an injury can be very difficult and one of the first questions many injured workers find themselves asking is if they will need a lawyer to represent them throughout the workers\u2019 compensation process. While an experienced <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">workers\u2019 compensation attorney<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can always be a good ally, whether or not one is necessary depends on the specifics of the individual worker\u2019s case. <\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n\n<h2><b>Hiring an Attorney or Representing Yourself<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hiring a lawyer is never a mandatory part of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sbwc.georgia.gov\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Georgia workers\u2019 compensation <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">system and for many injuries, doing so is unnecessary. In most cases, a worker can handle the filing process and receive benefits if the following are true:<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n\n<ul>\n\t\n\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The injuries were relatively minor and required no missed days of work;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your employer admits the injury occurred during work; and<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No pre-existing conditions contributed to the injury.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many work injuries meet the aforementioned conditions and a worker should have no trouble representing themselves during the workers\u2019 compensation proceedings. When cases become more complicated, however, working with an attorney is highly advisable. Employers and insurance providers often times try to short an injured worker of compensation, particularly in cases involving <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/42\/3796b\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">catastrophic injuries<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> where a worker could be entitled to lifelong benefits. It is generally recommended that an injured worker seek the aid of an attorney if:<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n\n<ul>\n\t\n\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your employer denies the claim or does not pay the full benefit amount;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The workers\u2019 compensation benefits do not cover all the medical expenses brought on by the injury;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are receiving Social Security benefits;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The injury involves serious medical issues that prevent the worker from returning to work or fulfilling their former job duties;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your employer retaliates against you for filing a workers\u2019 compensation claim; and<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the injury presents a possible third-party claim.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The basic rule of thumb for workers\u2019 compensation claims is if there are any legal complications, working with a lawyer would most likely benefit the injured worker.<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n\n<h2><b>What an Attorney Does<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because they have extensive knowledge regarding the law and bureaucracy related to workers\u2019 compensation, there are many benefits of hiring a workers\u2019 compensation attorney. An attorney will ensure that all the mandatory forms are filed correctly and on time. In addition, they will also provide advice, and help the injured worker to understand how to properly document the medical evidence and expenses to prove the severity of the injury. The attorney will also make sure the worker has a good estimate of what their case is worth so that they can work towards a fair settlement. <\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n\n<h2><b>Need Help Filing a Workers\u2019 Compensation Claim?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Work injuries are stressful, especially when there are legal complications.
