A: Your question suggests you are trying to handle your workers compensation case yourself without the assistance of an experienced workers compensation attorney. Big mistake.

You will be taken advantage of by the other side, and you will not offered anywhere near as much money as you would if you had an attorney.

And workers compensation attorneys are statutorily limited in the amount of fees they can take. I am not a workers compensation attorney, but I know that you really need to locate and retain one. They then would research your law.

Good luck to you.

Access the database, perform a search using relevant keywords, refine the results, and review the cases that are most applicable to your query. Take note of relevant cases for further reference. It is advisable to consult with a legal professional for accurate interpretation and guidance specific to your situation.
