It's Critical to Consult an Attorney Early

Workers' Compensation Lawyer

If you have been injured on the job in Roanoke, Virginia, or a surrounding jurisdiction, the decision to consult a workers compensation lawyer early in a claim can be critical. This is true even if you do not hire a lawyer right away. As a Roanoke workers’ compensation lawyer, I often will meet with a potential client and discuss the issues to see if a lawyer is actually necessary.

The earlier such a consultation takes place, the safer you will be. There are a number of issues that I discuss during a free consultation that need to be verified early in a claim. These include:

  • Salario medio semanal
  • Alcance de las lesiones
  • Elección del médico
  • Boletines de discapacidad
  • Reembolso del kilometraje

El salario medio semanal incluye las horas extras y algunas prestaciones no salariales. Es necesario documentar con precisión las lesiones o éstas pueden ser denegadas posteriormente en la reclamación. La elección del mejor médico del panel de tres médicos también puede desempeñar un papel importante en la reclamación.

Por estas razones le insto a que se ponga en contacto con un abogado que conozca bien la compensación de los trabajadores y al menos tenga una consulta. Llame a nuestra oficina de Roanoke al (540) 345-5700.
