Why Do I Need A Workers’ Compensation Attorney?
If your on-the-job injury results in quick medical care and your employer acknowledges its legal responsibility and supports processing your workers’ compensation claim, you may not need an attorney. If the injury is more serious, however, requiring you to not work for an extended period, or if you are not receiving full support from your employer (or the company’s workers’ compensation insurance provider) to get complete medical treatment, you should contact an experienced workers’ compensation attorney to protect you as soon as possible.
Our lawyers at Kelly Law Office, P.C., understand how challenging seeking workers’ compensation can be, and we are here to help. With more than a century of combined experience handling these claims in Kansas and Missouri, we know what it takes to make a compelling case for the benefits you and your family need.
