No employer is eager to pay out workman’s compensation. This makes getting workman’s compensation very difficult, even if your employer was entirely at fault. You have enough to worry about. Let a Work Comp MN attorney guide you over the rocky road of litigation in order for you to get the benefits you deserve. Here are some tips on how to find the best work comp attorney for you.
Ask for Recommendations
Do you know anyone in your area that has successfully received their workman’s compensation benefits? Ask that person what lawyer he or she used. If you already have a lawyer for reasons other than workman’s compensation, ask that lawyer to recommend another lawyer for you. Lawyers who work in other branches of law may not be comfortable representing you in this situation.
Check with Your Minnesota Industrial Commission
Many industries in Minnesota have a state commission, especially if your job involves working with boats, heavy machinery, asbestos or other dangerous substances. The state commission may not be able to personally recommend a lawyer, but it can get you contact information to begin your search.
Check with Your Local Representative’s Office
The offices of many Minnesota state representatives are a treasure chest of state and local resources. They also may not be able to personally recommend a lawyer, but they should quickly be able to give you the contact information of many disability attorneys in your area.
Go to Initial Consultation
It’s not enough to hire a Work Comp MN lawyer based on one personal recommendation or if they have a spiffy website. It’s best to talk to the lawyer face to face about your case. You can find out if you can get along with this lawyer. You can also quickly find out how good the lawyer’s communication skills are. If you cannot understand what your lawyer is telling you, chances are neither will anyone else. Go to at least two initial consultations.
