A: I highly recommend you look for an experienced Workers Compensation Attorney in your area. They only charge is 12-15% and it’s worth it. (Payable at the end after you settle) Without one, you will probably get the smallest settlement. After being in Workers Comp since 1987, and working previously as an insurance adjuster, you will do much better off hiring an experienced workers comp attorney. You will not be required to pay until the case settles. Also, your attorney knows best on how to get the best settlement for you. The adjuster is not your friend. Good luck!
