You do not need a lawyer in a workers' compensation case if you are in good communication with your employer and you don't want to rock the boat. You don't need a lawyer if they're paying you the proper average weekly wage and are approving a doctor of your choice and paying you mileage reimbursement and providing retraining and vocational rehabilitation. If all those things are in play and you feel satisfied that they are meeting their obligations under the law, then you obviously don't need a lawyer. However, many times things happen throughout the lifetime of your case that will not seem fair. If you have any questions, call Schwartz Law Firm today for a free consultation.
