  1. WHEN TO GET A WORKERS COMPENSATION ATTORNEY IN READING PA

  2. When in the course of claiming your workers’ compensation there might come a time when you’ll be forced to decide whether to hire a workers’ compensation attorney in Reading, PA, or not. A tough decision indeed. On one hand, lawyers can improve your chances of a favorable outcome, on the other, they’re quite expensive.

  3. Hire a workers’ compensation attorney in Reading, PA, if you’re working without a formal employment contract, as workers’ compensation is only awarded to employees, not private contractors.

  4. Certain states allow employers to force upon you a specific list of doctors for treatment. And, to reduce the workers’ compensation payout, employers will often influence these doctors to reduce your treatment. So, consult an attorney if you feel that you’re getting subpar treatment.

  5. It’s not uncommon for your initial application for workers’ compensation to be denied. Most likely, the opposing lawyers found loops holes in your application, so it’s better to hire a workers’ compensation attorney for the appeal rather than filing it yourself.

  6. An easy way for employers to opt out of paying lost wages is to set up a review of their employment prospects. Similar to the doctor situation, the reviewer may be biased to favor the employer. So, make sure that you’re not attending vocational assessments without a lawyer.

  7. Consult a lawyer if your situation varies from the exact dictation of the law because you might still be eligible for workers’ compensation. Consider the case of Marazasv. Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board, where a worker was awarded compensation even though he was injured after being terminated.

  8. Looking for a reliable the most reliable workers’ compensation attorney in Pennsylvania? Call (215) 206-9068, CardamoneLaw is offering free same-day consultations.
