We help individuals who have been turned down by other lawyers get the workers’ comp benefits they deserve.
Our law firm believes disabled employees should be on equal footing with employers and insurance companies. Having a lawyer on your side is the best way to protect legal rights and guarantee a fair settlement is paid. Unfortunately, some people do not get along with their lawyer and feel trapped by their representation. Lack of communication is a big reason why people are unsatisfied with their lawyer. Can you contact another lawyer to get a second opinion on your workers’ comp case in Michigan? Sure, but you might not like what you hear.
Can you get a second opinion on your workers’ comp case in Michigan?
In Michigan, you can always get a second opinion on your workers’ comp case but there are no guarantees a lawyer will take the case. Many lawyers have reservations about getting into a case months or years later. It is also a bad idea to second guess another lawyer who has seen all the evidence. Sometimes a workers’ comp case is not worth enough money for a lawyer to even get involved.
Workers’ comp cases are taken on contingency. This means no fee is paid unless your successful. Most lawyers offer free telephone consultations. Questions about your current lawyer and how the relationship broke down are fair game. It can be unethical to give legal advice when a case has been ongoing.
A lawyer who is giving a second opinion about your workers’ comp case in Michigan will need to know about how the workplace accident occurred, if medical or wage loss benefits have been paid, current diagnosis and treatment, work restrictions, preexisting conditions. It is also necessary to mention any settlements offers and what recommendations the prior lawyer has made.
Is help available if nobody will take my case?
Our job is to help resolve minor issues before they explode into major problems. We frequently take clients that other lawyers have turned down. This is usually because workers’ comp benefits are being paid without dispute and there is no money to be made. We monitor these cases free of charge.
We believe it is important to have someone on your side before a problem occurs. Insurance companies have lawyers who are reviewing claims and looking for ways to stop payments. We don’t charge a dime to monitor a workers’ comp claim.
Sometimes the reassurance from a quick telephone call is all that is needed to ease anxiety and worries. Never wait until after settlement to get a second opinion on your Michigan workers’ comp case because nothing can be done at that point.
We also offer pro bono (free) legal assistance to a few individuals each year who cannot otherwise find a lawyer. Nobody should have to suffer because the workers’ comp system is rigged against them. Please contact us if you feel that your situation qualifies, and we can try to help.
