A Brief Guide to Selecting a Workers’ Compensation Attorney
It is not a secret that workers’ compensation claims in New Jersey and the rest of the nation are inherently complex. You need a seasoned attorney with an unparalleled work ethic to maximize your compensation in accordance with New Jersey’s nuanced workers’ compensation laws. Hire the wrong attorney and your claim will end up stuck in legal limbo or result in insufficient compensation.
A Detailed Analysis of Your Unique Case
Above all, the workers’ compensation attorney you select must be willing to delve deep into the nuances of your unique case. Your attorney must calculate these factors:
- The extent of your specific injury or illness
- Your medical expenses
- Your prior wages
- The potential for permanent, temporary, full or partial disability
Furthermore, the best workers’ compensation attorneys lend invaluable assistance throughout the entirety of your workers’ compensation case. Truly elite workers’ compensation attorneys are forthright, have integrity, are willing to communicate and possess the experience necessary to maximize your payout.
Restrict Your Search to Attorneys who Specialize in Workers’ Compensation
When researching attorneys for your case, exclude those who do not specialize in workers’ compensation cases. However, if the attorney also handles personal injury cases in addition to workers’ compensation cases, he or she is still worth considering. Take a close look at prospective attorneys’ websites to whittle down the field to a group of proven workers’ compensation specialists.
Select an Attorney You are Comfortable With and Genuinely Trust
Sit down with a couple workers’ compensation attorneys for face-to-face meetings. If you do not feel comfortable interacting with the attorney or do not trust him or her, move on to the next candidate.
Consider the Attorney’s Track Record of Success or Failure
Ask for proof of the attorney’s success handling cases similar to your own. If the attorney cannot point to success stories, he or she is unworthy of your business.
A Limited Caseload Encourages Ongoing Communication
The attorney you select must be willing to communicate with you throughout the entirety of your case. Discuss your expectations for communication with the attorney before making a commitment. If the attorney you are considering is unwilling to respond to your inquiries on the timeline you desire, it is a sign he or she is too busy. Do not provide such an overworked attorney with your business. You need and deserve prompt replies to your questions and concerns.
