Getting hurt on the job can turn your life upside down. When you’re facing medical treatment, missed work, and insurance red tape, hiring the right personal injury lawyer is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. But how do you know which attorney is best suited to handle your workers’ compensation case?
Before hiring anyone, it’s crucial to ask the right questions. These will help you find a lawyer who is experienced, communicative, and committed to getting you the compensation you deserve.
1. How Much Experience Do You Have with Workers’ Compensation Cases?
Not all personal injury lawyers focus on workers’ comp. You’ll want someone who regularly handles these types of claims and understands the complexities of Florida’s workers’ compensation laws. At Ask Law, each partner brings nearly 30 years of litigation experience specifically in workplace injury cases.
2. What Is Your Success Rate with Similar Claims?
An experienced lawyer should be able to provide a general overview of their case results. While no outcome is guaranteed, a proven track record demonstrates skill and dedication. Ask for examples of past cases involving situations like yours—whether it’s a slip at work, machinery injury, or repetitive stress condition.
3. How Will You Communicate with Me During the Case?
Timely updates can make a huge difference during a stressful legal process. Find out how often you’ll hear from your lawyer, who you’ll speak with, and how quickly they respond to emails or calls. At Ask Law, communication is a top priority, and clients are never left in the dark.
4. Do You Handle Negotiations and Litigation If Needed?
Some attorneys may push for quick settlements even when litigation could bring a better result. Be sure your lawyer is comfortable taking your case to trial if necessary. Ask Law’s attorneys are seasoned litigators who are ready to stand up to insurance companies and fight for your rights.
5. What Are Your Fees and Billing Practices?
Most personal injury and workers’ compensation lawyers work on a contingency fee basis—meaning you pay nothing unless they win your case. Still, be sure to ask about costs, percentages, and any out-of-pocket expenses.
