Workers' Compensation
When you get injured at work, you experience many difficult challenges. You are faced with medical expenses, time off of work, loss of income in many cases, and simply not knowing what is supposed to happen under the workers' compensation system. At The Law Office of James C. Bocott, PC LLO, we can guide you through the workers' compensation maze.
When you contact our office concerning your claim, you have absolutely nothing to lose, and everything to gain. There is no cost for our initial consultations. We review your claim quickly and educate you on how the claim should be resolved. We eliminate the uncertainty. We will remain in contact with you regularly. You will always understand what is happening with your case and why.
In any injury matter, the sooner you contact an attorney the better. The first days following an injury are crucial for investigation purposes and treatment purposes.
Many times, the workers' compensation carrier will attempt to direct your health care. You must avoid allowing the insurance carrier to do this. While some workers compensation insurance carriers are looking out for the best interests of their clients, many simply want to control your care and control the physicians who provide this care. Getting to an attorney quickly will ensure that you receive the care you deserve from the medical professionals you trust.
We handle our workers' compensation claims on a contingency fee basis. That means we are only paid if we collect money for you. If you are already receiving compensation, but are entitled to a greater amount of compensation, we only earn a fee on the amount over and above what you are already receiving. You are not required to pay us any money in advance of your claim being settled or an award entered.
At The Law Office of James C. Bocott, PC LLO, we understand that the more quickly your claim is resolved, the more quickly you will be compensated and able to get back to life as usual. With this in mind, we will aggressively and professionally handle your claim to ensure that there is no unreasonable delay in obtaining the benefits to which you are entitled.
