Free Initial Consultation: A Chance to Talk with a Denver Workers Compensation Lawyer
The first piece of advice I would offer to any injured worker who has sustained a recent work injury is to set up a free initial consultation with a Denver workers compensation attorney. It doesn’t have to be me. There are other attorneys in Denver who specialize in workers’ compensation litigation, but you truly owe it to yourself to take advantage of a free initial consultation from a legal specialist.
Since time may be of the essence in pursuing a workers compensation claim, you should call an attorney immediately. If you do not meet certain deadlines, your workers comp claim could be jeopardized, or even barred!
The purpose of the initial consultation is two-fold: First, it is an opportunity for you to meet with a Denver workers compensation attorney and learn what benefits you are entitled to, how to pursue them, and what options you have in your case. You May Not Need an Attorney!
Second, the free initial consultation gives you a chance to decide if the attorney you are meeting with is the right lawyer for YOU.
After hearing the facts, I can provide you with professional feedback regarding your entitlement to benefits under the Colorado workers compensation law, what the best procedure is for securing your benefits, and whether or not you truly need the services of a an attorney. Before you decide to hire me, or any other attorney for that matter, you deserve the opportunity to learn about your options and then make an informed decision on your next move.
This is an important decision on your part. Let's decide together what I can do for you. This is why my initial consultations are free. At the initial consultation, I will be able to explain exactly how the Colorado workers compensation law applies to your specific workers compensation claim. For example, I want to make sure you understand the significance of certain workers compensation terms such as "MMI" and "Final Admission of Liability." I want to make sure you understand why it is dangerous to quit your job under certain circumstances and why it is extremely important to be accurate and detailed in reporting your injuries. At your initial consultation, you will also learn about such procedural issues as how a Colorado workers compensation case is litigated, how long an average work comp claim takes, and what your chances are for prevailing in a Colorado workers compensation claim.
To make our initial consultation more productive, take a few moments prior to our meeting to collect your thoughts by preparing a list of questions you have about your work injuries and your workers compensation claim. It is also advisable that you create an injury log, beginning with your date of injury and including everything you did in relation to your workers compensation claim up to the date of your appointment with me. If you have not yet reported your injury, please call my Denver office immediately so we can discuss your obligations in this regard. Likewise, if you have not yet consulted with a designated workers compensation physician, call me so we can discuss your rights in this regard before they are lost. Finally, bring all your paperwork with you even if you feel some papers are not important.
Remember, time could be of the essence. Let’s not risk compromising your workers compensation claim. You have nothing to lose. Call me today so you can have your workers compensation claim evaluated by an attorney who specializes in this area of the law.
