A: Worker's compensation is a specialized field. Most worker's compensation attorneys will provide you with a free consultation to discuss your rights and remedies. Worker's compensation has its own rules, regulations, and procedures that are quite different than the typical personal injury / automobile accident case. Discuss these issues with a qualified and experienced worker's compensation attorney. Good luck.
