Do I Need a Workers' Comp Lawyer?
There are very specific rules that apply to disability payments, medical treatment, physician changes, vocational rehabilitation, and permanent partial disability benefits. The best way to avoid pitfalls is to contact an experienced lawyer as soon as possible after your accident.
Our Canton workers’ compensation attorneys can guide you through the complex process. Some situations—such as a car accident while working—may require a separate personal injury claim against the negligent party. Our firm can handle both cases on your behalf.
