3 Tips To Help You Choose The Best Wilmington Workers' Comp Lawyer

Read Full Post

Known as The Port City, Wilmington, North Carolina is no stranger to hard work. The workers are the ones who keep this city running, so when they're injured on the job, they deserve maximum compensation to fund their recovery and make up for any lost wages. The best way to make sure you get the coverage you need when you get an injury on the job is to hire a workers' comp lawyer. The evaluation process can seem overwhelming. There are countless lawyers out there who all claim they will get you maximum compensation, so how do you know which lawyer truly has your best interest at heart?

Before you make any decision, read these three tips that will help you make sure you’re choosing the best Wilmington workers' comp lawyer to help you seek the compensation you deserve.

1. Look for a Local Expert

Workers' comp law is fairly complicated, and it can vary quite a bit based on where you're located. That means you'll want to find a lawyer who's not only based in North Carolina but one who's based right here in Wilmington. Only they will have the expert grasp on local workers' comp laws to ensure you get the compensation you deserve for your on-the-job injury.

Additionally, it's best to find a lawyer that specializes in workers' comp. While a general lawyer may be able to get you through the basics, a personal injury lawyer who offers workers' comp services will have the expertise needed to take on insurance companies and employers that are looking to hold out on your rightfully owed compensation.

2. Look for Experience

Strictly speaking, expertise in an area of practice is really just a matter of being able to practice law in that area. While certainly necessary, you'll always be in better shape if you opt for someone with more extensive experience. They'll know what it takes to go up against powerful employers and insurers and come out victorious.

You can learn a lot about a lawyer's experience by looking at their website and discovering when they first started their practice. Of course, that alone isn't enough. You'll need to look at their reviews as well. Finding reviews on their own website is a start, but they'll never include every review since lawyers get to pick which testimonials are displayed. Instead, you'll need to turn to Google reviews where people are often brutally honest.

3. Look for Compassion

Workers' comp is designed to help you through your recovery without suffering a massive financial burden. If a lawyer isn't empathetic to your plight, they're not going to be as effective in your defense. Find a lawyer who's concerned about justice and your well-being before your payday. If they seem to be focused on the payout more than anything else, it just means they're eyeing their percentage cut.

Lawyers have to make money, but their income should be from their defense of your rights. That income shouldn't come from recommending you to a doctor who's in the pocket of some insurance giant. Additionally, their percentage take of your compensation shouldn't be coming from your medical bill coverage.
