Q: Injury at WorkIf an amount offered by MWCA is a small amount and your lawyer removed himself, do I contact MWCA?
Recently, I was offered an amount for an injury generated in 2019.
Brief History - I was officially placed on medical leave due to medical issues I was experiencing. Throughout the past 2 years, I did not receive any cash payments, mileage reimbursement, medical assistance, or pain/suffering. The current law firm withdrew from the case. Do I contact MWCA or find another lawyer? For the pain and suffering, is another lawyer needed?
A: if your previous is no longer involved, you can choose to proceed without a lawyer, however I do not recommend that--my recommendation is that you use the Justia Find a lawyer tab and search for worker's comp and/or injury lawyers in your area, meet with a few, discuss your case and then hire the one with whom you are most comfortable. Good luck.
