If you've been hurt on the job, you may be wondering what your options are. Hiring a workers' compensation attorney can have many benefits. Here are five specific ways a specialized lawyer can help.

Benefit Verification

The settlement in a workers' compensation claim is partially based on your average wage. A workers' compensation lawyer will make sure that the insurance company calculates your income, so you get the right claim.

Experience

The excessive paperwork for a workers' compensation claim can be complicated and stressful. When you hire an attorney, you can rely on his or her experience to guide you through the process.

Expert Advice

If you aren't sure of the steps in the process or how to handle your claim, you can get helpful advice from a dedicated attorney with years of experience dealing with similar claims.

Possible Civil Lawsuit

If your injury was caused by someone or something other than your employer, you may be able to file a third party liability suit.

Filing a workers' compensation claim can be complicated, but an expert attorney can help guide you through the process and ensure you receive a fair settlement. If you want more information on workers' compensation claims, call The Law Offices of Robert Dodson at 803-252-2600.
