How to Choose the Best Workers’ Compensation Attorney
When the unfortunate circumstances of an on-the-job injury take place, workers may be eligible for compensation under their employers’ company insurance. But how will they know if they are getting everything that is due to them? What if they are unable to work again? Are they eligible for lost wage compensation? How do they file a claim? All of these questions are excellent examples of why you need to hire a workers’ compensation attorney. An attorney will speak on behalf of the worker and ensure that they are getting the benefits that they are entitled to, such as wage reimbursement for missed hours, treatment reimbursement, permanent total disability, etc. But how can a client determine which attorney is suitable for the job? What makes one attorney more qualified than another? In the following paragraphs, we will discuss just what makes The Law Offices of Alex Bonilla, P.C. stand out from others and why.
Choose an Attorney that Specializes in Workers’ Compensation
Different attorneys have different specialties. That is why it’s critical to hire a lawyer that specializes directly in workers’ compensation and has had successful experience in the field. Lawyers who specialize in workers' compensation, will be familiar with the laws surrounding these cases and know just the right approach for this particular case. A workers' compensation attorney will also be capable of telling if the case is worth bringing to court. They can also determine if their client should just file workers' compensation benefits or file for a personal injury settlement as well. A client may not receive all the financial compensation that they are eligible for if the lawyer is not adept with these types of cases. Alex Bonilla is specifically a workers' compensation attorney, so he has a great deal of expertise in that field.
No Fee Unless the Case is Won
Many injury compensation attorneys are aware that an injury puts financial strain on the families of their clients. Due to the cost of the treatments, lost wages, and potential disability, the people who suffer from a work-related injury do not have the means to pay out of pocket for legal aid. That is why many workers' compensation attorneys have a policy that if they do not win the case, then they do not owe anything to the lawyer. If the injured person hires a lawyer who does not handle workers' compensation cases, they may not be offered that same compassion and still be held responsible for the cost of their legal aid. This will cause even more financial hardship for the family, so it is crucial to check and see if the lawyer offers this with their legal services. The Law Offices of Alex Bonilla, P.C understands the financial hardships faced by their clientele. That is why they serve their customers with this policy. That way, there is no risk of financial hardship to the family if they wish to attempt to file a claim.
