If an attorney is not hired after a workplace injury, navigating the claims process and securing fair compensation can become challenging. Employers and insurance companies may attempt to minimize or deny claims, leaving the injured worker with insufficient financial support for medical expenses and lost wages. Complex paperwork, strict deadlines, and legal technicalities must be handled independently, increasing the risk of errors that could delay or jeopardize the claim. Additionally, without legal representation, the injured party may not be fully aware of their rights, leading to missed opportunities for additional compensation, such as benefits for long-term disabilities. If disputes arise, the process can become overwhelming, making it difficult to focus on recovery while managing legal and financial concerns alone.

By consulting an attorney, the likelihood of receiving the full benefits entitled under the law is significantly increased, reducing stress and potential legal complications.
