There are a few reasons why those injured in a Charleston workplace accident should consider hiring a local workers’ compensation attorney to represent them. First, there are many deadlines that must be carefully considered and met for your claim to be successful. Missing even one deadline may mean that your claim is barred from court and you lose your ability to collect money for your serious injury. Another reason why an attorney can be of use is that some employers look for ways to deprive workers of their full-range of benefits they are entitled to. You may think your employer has done all they can do to secure the compensation you need, but only an experienced workers’ comp lawyer will know whether you are missing out on benefits that you would otherwise be entitled to.
