How a Construction Accident Lawyer Can Help You With Your Case
When it comes to workers’ compensation, there are several ways that an employer or the insurance company can cost you thousands of dollars or even your job. An Englewood Cliffs construction accident lawyer can handle your case in the following ways:
- Protect your rights: neither your employer nor workers’ compensation can be counted on to protect your rights. Your attorney, however, will work hard to defend your rights and interests.
- Establish your claim: your lawyer may gather evidence and build your case to help you establish your claim. We can take on the insurance companies and negotiate a fair settlement that covers your expenses and financial losses.
- Expedite your payment on time: the insurance company may delay sending your payments. If so, our law firm can communicate with the insurance provider on your behalf to get you paid promptly.
- Help you get disability benefits: the insurance company may be reluctant to pay disability benefits or even deny your claim. They may also offer a settlement that does not cover your expenses. We will represent you to get a fair settlement to cover your disability costs and lost wages.
