Why You Need an Efficient Workers
Compensation Lawyer
You've come to the right place. If you were
injured on the job and believe you are entitled
to workers' compensation, a workers' compensation
lawyer can help. Workers' compensation lawyers
can assist with matters arising out of workplace
injuries -- including back and spine injuries and
construction-related accidents.   Use Corradino
Papa to hire a local worker's compensation lawyer
to get compensation for medical bills and lost
wages.

When to Hire a Lawyer
Your employer denies your claim or you fail to
receive your benefits promptly.
Employers and workers' comp insurers routinely
reject bona fide workers' comp claims, confident
that many workers will fail to appeal.
Unfortunately, they're usually correct. Up to 80
of individuals who are hurt at work simply accept
the denial of their claim without appealing.
Hiring a workers' comp attorney costs nothing up
front, and gives you the best chance to receive a
fair settlement for your injuries.
Your employer's settlement offer doesn't cover
all your lost wages or medical bills.
If you're not sure your settlement offer is good
enough, don't rely on the workers' compensation
judge to make sure that you're getting a fair
deal. Although workers' comp settlements must
have judicial approval, judges will usually sign
off on any agreement as long as it's not grossly
unfair. If you really want someone to get you the
best settlement possible, call an attorney.

What Your Attorney
Will Do for You
In addition to making sure that you file
necessary forms and meet all deadlines, your
attorney will understand how to develop medical
evidence that documents the severity of your
condition. Relying on the supposedly
"independent" physicians who perform exams for
insurance companies is a common but costly error
committed by unrepresented claimants. Moreover, a
workers' comp attorney can estimate the "worth"
of your case and evaluate any settlement offers
much more accurately than your co-workers,
friends, or family members can.

When You Hire a Workers Compensation Lawyer,
There is No Fees Unless
They Recover for You.
After an injury, an insurance company may send
you for an independent medical examination or an
adverse examination.  Under the law, you are
required to attend the examination.  Although the
law calls them independent medical examinations,
they are not truly independent as the doctors are
selected by the insurance company and often times
routinely do these examinations at the request of
the insurance company.  The insurance companies
use the same doctors and get the same types of
reports.  Sadly, an independent medical
examination can be the basis for which an
employer and insurer use to deny and stop
benefits. Our workers compensation lawyers will
fight the report.  Our lawyers are experienced
and are willing to take all of the necessary
steps, including meeting with your doctors,
taking depositions, and trying your case in order
for you to get the benefits you deserve.
