Workers’ compensation benefits are generally available to injured employees regardless of who is at fault in the accident. If you have been injured on the job or suffered a work-related illness in DeKalb County, claiming workers’ compensation benefits is often the only way to cover your medical expenses and pay your bills. But, after getting hurt at work, you might wonder if you should hire a lawyer for your workers’ compensation claim. Is it really worth it?

Workers’ compensation is a complicated area of law. Most injured workers do not have the legal resources to pursue compensation if their workers’ comp claim is denied or delayed. Even in relatively uncomplicated situations, it’s often a good idea to contact a workers’ compensation attorney. The lawyer can walk you through the process, and alert you to potential pitfalls. Additionally, there are often situations where there is a lack of clarity on what exactly caused an injury.
