Hiring a Workers Compensation Attorney

When you are injured in a work accident, it can be a scary and overwhelming time. You are feeling pressure from all angles: medical appointments, bills to pay at home, reporting requirements for your accident, and your employer or its insurance company asking questions about what happened.

When this happens, you need an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer to represent you throughout the work injury process. Putnam Law has been representing clients in Omaha and throughout Nebraska. We have the experience and the knowledge necessary to make sure you receive the best possible settlement for your claim.

When to Hire a Workers’ Compensation Attorney

We recommend that injured workers complete three important steps immediately after they are injured. Those steps are to report your injury, seek medical attention, and speak to an attorney. Generally we believe that the sooner you speak to a lawyer, the better off you will be in your injury claim.

Our office will help make sure that your work accident is:

  • Properly reported
  • Claim is filed on time
  • Receiving proper and timely medical care
  • Receiving proper benefits
  • Being treated fairly by the insurance company throughout the process.

It can be difficult when attorneys are hired after the claim is already filed or in the appeal stage, because they will often be forced to operate with the evidence that has already been entered into the record without the ability to compile new evidence on your behalf. If you were injured at work, you should speak to an attorney as soon as possible to get them working for you.
