When to Hire Workers Compensation Lawyers in Perth?

2. If your injuries are not clearly work-related, require extensive medical treatment, involve long periods of time off work, or result in permanent disability, you should call a workers' compensation lawyer.

3. You have a preexisting condition The insurance company will likely blame your injury on your previous condition rather than your work activities. This is especially true if your injury has developed slowly over time, rather than during a single work accident.

4. You are having a workers’ comp hearing If the insurance company refuses to settle—or only makes lowball settlement offers—you’ll need to go prove your case at a hearing. Because this is like a mini-trial, you will almost certainly need a lawyer to represent you.

5. Your ability to work has been affected If you can never work again, you’ll need to maximize your workers’ comp benefits and structure them in a way to last well into the future. If you need to change careers, you’ll need to secure training in a new line of work. A lawyer can help you do both.

6. Your claim is denied You can appeal the denial through the workers’ compensation system. While the appeals process varies from state to state, it generally requires you to file formal paperwork, use legal tools to gather evidence, and present your case at a hearing.

7. Your permanent disability rating is disputed A lawyer can be essential to getting you a fair settlement or convincing a judge that you are entitled to the higher rating.
