You should contact a lawyer as soon as your injury affects your ability to work, requires ongoing medical treatment, or if your employer or insurance company delays, disputes, or denies your claim. Early legal help prevents mistakes that can reduce your benefits.

If you were injured while traveling for work — such as driving between job sites, delivering goods, attending offsite meetings, or traveling for work purposes — a lawyer can prove the travel was job-related and secure workers’ comp or personal injury compensation depending on the situation.

A work injury lawyer:

• Files and manages your workers’ comp claim

• Coordinates medical evaluations

• Fights claim denials

• Negotiates settlement amounts

• Represents you in hearings or appeals

Their goal is to protect your health and income.

Common workplace injuries include:

• Back and neck strains

• Shoulder, knee, and joint injuries

• Repetitive motion injuries (carpal tunnel, tendonitis)

• Slip and fall injuries

• Equipment / machinery accidents

• Work-related vehicle accidents

Minor claims may resolve in weeks. Claims involving surgery, disability ratings, disputes, or appeals may take several months. Having a lawyer usually speeds up the process and reduces delays.

Work injury attorneys work on a contingency fee, meaning no upfront cost. They get paid only if you win benefits or a settlement.
