Should I contact an Attorney?

If you are injured at work, do you have a clear understanding of your rights, benefits owed to you, and what steps you need to take to protect yourself and maximize your claim? Workers' compensation claims are complex with many hidden issues that can produce major differences in the outcome and compensation.

Because of the nature of their business, both employers and their insurance companies make every effort to reduce costs when someone gets hurt on the job. Unfortunately, this effort to reduce costs often comes at the expense of the injured worker, resulting in less than proper medical treatment, and the non-payment and underpayment of benefits. Workers’ compensation insurance carriers understand the law, and they know that injured workers do not. The insurance companies have attorneys working for them to help minimize their losses. Shouldn’t you have someone looking out for you?

The attorneys at Wertz & Dake will discuss your case with you at no cost and no obligation. A simple phone call or short meeting could be the difference between getting the benefits and treatment you are entitled to, or simply relying on the insurance corporation to do the right thing.
