Do I Need An Attorney To File Workers Compensation?

Attorneys Are Here to Help

We often get calls from people that have been injured on the job that are proceeding pro se, which means without an attorney representing them.  Workers’ compensation law is incredibly detailed and whether a case is denied, or accepted as compensable by an insurance company, or self-insured employer, often turns on the interpretation of these details.  Often, we see claims that should be accepted, denied by an insurance company because of their interpretation of the facts.  Without an attorney that specializes in workers’ compensation, an injured worker may just give up.  It doesn’t have to be that way!

Hiring a skilled attorney to fight for you is just like hiring any other professional to do any other specialized job.  You wouldn’t try to diagnose your own medical condition, or do surgery on a family member.  You also would not likely try to fly a commercial airliner, drive a tank, or pilot a cruise ship.  We all have different skill sets in the occupations we have chosen.  Make the right choice and retain a workers’ compensation attorney to help you!

Awareness On The Road & Job Can Save Your Live

Awareness – It Could Save Your Life

With the advent of winter weather, it is important to make sure you are aware of the vehicles, pedestrians, and especially the commercial vehicles that you are going to encounter as you travel the highways and byways of North Carolina and South Carolina.  Awareness is also important on job sites, warehouses, parking lots, and other workplace common areas.  Winter weather often brings in water, ice, and snow that make areas such as bathrooms, hallways, and parking lots hazardous to your footing.  Make sure you take extra caution in navigating areas at your workplace that now may have hidden dangers to them that you are not normally used to having to worry about.

It is not enough to just be aware on the road, and at the workplace as today’s world news headlines are filled with reports of violence occurring in malls, airports, and schools.  So wherever your travels may take you, get in the habit of being aware of who is around you, what exits are available to you, and have a family plan so you don’t become a news headline.  Tippens & Zurosky represents people injured on the job and in automobile accidents in North Carolina and South Carolina.  Call us toll-free at 877-372-3580, or at 704-343-0018, for a free consultation.  Let us help you!
