Why Should I Hire a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer for my Work Accident Injury?

Workers are injured on the job every day. Many people will report their injuries to their employer and leave everything to them. What workers do not know is that by leaving everything in the hands of their employer, their best interest is not at heart. The employer will always try to limit any exposure and any damages they may owe to the worker. An injured employee should always hire an experienced workers' compensation attorney to represent their best interests.

In many cases, the employer is at-fault for their employee's injuries. So, if the employee trusts their employer to compensate them fairly, they could be missing out on significant compensation that they deserve. Another common issue is that some employers do not carry workers' compensation insurance. Every employer is required to carry this insurance because it is to be used to cover injuries to employees that occur while on the job.

If you've been injured while at work, don't trust your employer to fairly handle your claim, and make sure to hire an experienced workers' compensation attorney. Call Portner & Shure today for a free consultation: (301) 854-9000.
