If you are injured on the job, there is no time to waste and you likely don’t even have enough money to hire a workplace injury attorney. You are in need of free legal counsel, and you want it now. What are your options available?
It’s good to know that you won’t be paying anything to hire an experienced work injury lawyer. WorkInjurySource.com provides a 24/7 free claim evaluation. There is no charge unless the attorney wins your case. These are some of the most frequently-asked questions about getting free advice on workplace injuries.
What should you expect from your free consultation? You will be able to speak with an injury lawyer one-on-one or over the phone about your claim. Your lawyer may ask you about what happened, and what actions you took since the accident (e.g., if you reported the accident or consulted a physician). Your lawyer will answer any questions that you have about the experience of his or her firm or what to expect as your claim proceeds.
Free consultations are also an opportunity for injury lawyers to assess whether they can be of assistance. A lawyer has many options to help you after a work accident, but if it’s been too long since you sought advice on your claim, they will have fewer options. To avoid this, we suggest that you book a free consultation as soon possible with a personal injury lawyer. You have nothing to loose and everything you gain.
It is important to first ensure that there’s a good relationship. If after meeting with an attorney you feel that he or she would not be the best person to represent you, you should be given the option to find someone else. Don’t feel forced to work with an lawyer just because you invested in a free consultation. It is also the attorney’s chance to assess your case during the first consultation. After learning more about you and your situation, if an attorney decides that they will not represent you, then you should have the right to a second consultation without having to pay any fees.
No, not quite. After your attorney understands your case in detail, he will then be able answer these questions. Your attorney will not be able guarantee that you’ll receive compensation or benefits without going to court. However, after gaining more information about your case, he/she will be in a position to make a reasonable estimation of your chances of receiving these benefits.
No and yes. Workers’ compensation lawyers and personal injury attorneys deal with workplace accident claims based on contingency fees. You will not be charged any legal fees up front, nor will you have to pay for anything as the case proceeds. The legal fees of your attorney will be calculated on the basis of a percentage if you win a court case or settlement.
