If you get hurt on the job, the law provides medical and financial benefits so you can recover. Attending your compensation hearing is an important part of obtaining those benefits. The team at Vincent Criscuolo & Associates explains why you should have a workers' comp attorney represent you at the hearing.

Why You Need Representation by a Workers’ Comp Attorney

You’ll Have a Defense Against the Insurance Company

The insurance company has attorneys, and their job is to help their client pay as few claims as possible and as little as possible on claims they do pay. They have extensive training, experience, and familiarity with the hearing process. You need a lawyer who knows what they know and will go toe-to-toe with them on your behalf.

They’ll Help You Provide Necessary Information to the Judge

Your workers’ comp attorney will ensure the judge has all of the correct information about your claim. Crucial pieces of information include details about your injuries, a doctor’s diagnosis, medical treatment, the expected timetable for recovery, and your average weekly wage.

They Speak Worker’s Comp Language

Workers’ comp law involves legal and medical terms you may not know. Your workers’ comp attorney will communicate with you in terms you understand. As your advocate, your attorney will communicate with the judge and the insurer’s lawyer using appropriate workers’ comp language.
