SYDNEY - February 12, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Has a worker ever been injured or disabled on the job? The short answer is -Yes. Accidents at the workplace are pretty common nowadays - be it a back injury from lifting heavy boxes or a broken arm because of slippery stairs. If a work-related injury has left someone incapacitated, a workers' compensation attorney can help recover losses from these injuries, including medical bills and lost wages.
Is a lawyer worth the cost? This is one of the most common questions that comes to mind whenever a person is injured because of somebody else's fault or negligence. People are likely to get a much higher settlement offer when a lawyer is involved. They understand the laws, know how to negotiate, and can use various tools to build up the case.
Matthew Garling, from Garling & Co., shared some useful tips that can help in choosing the perfect compensation lawyer. Here are some of those tips:
- Take the time to do the research - not all lawyers are the same but choosing the lawyer that can put the case in a good position will help achieve the best result.
- Make a shortlist of lawyers who specialise in personal injury law, accredited by the Law Society.
- Take time to speak with each of these lawyers.
- Give them the particulars of the case and ask for their recommendations. They should be able to immediately tell if the injured have a claim and what they estimate it is worth.
- Ask them to advise how long the claim will take, approximately.
- Ask how much it will cost to run the case and how they charge, lump sum or hourly.
- It's highly recommended to choose a lawyer who charges on a lump-sum basis, so the client knows what to expect from the outset.
- Lastly, choose the lawyer one can communicate best with. It is a long process, and it is vitally important to have confidence in the lawyer a person chooses.
The right lawyer will be able to tell if the injured have a case and provide the right advice to achieve the best possible results for their clients.
