If you have suffered an injury at work or have suffered from an illness as a result of your working environment, it is important that you have an experienced and competent lawyer on your side. Here at the Law Offices of Ala Alikhani, P.A., we specialize in helping injured workers file workers compensation claims in Florida.
If you are thinking of consulting with an attorney to help assist you with your claim, there are some things you should consider before you commit to using any legal representative:
-
Are they experienced?
While newly qualified lawyers can still help you with many areas of law, workers rights are best attended to by an experienced solicitor with a good track record of successfully obtaining maximum benefits for injured workers. Always ask your attorney how long they have been practicing workers’ compensation law.
-
What Do Their Clients Say About Them?
A recommendation goes a long way in helping us to choose which products, services and in this case, legal representation we choose to work with. You may have been recommended an attorney by a friend or work colleague or may have been passed their details by your employer. If you would like further reassurance, you should be able to find reviews and testimonials online. These may be on the firms own website, or independent ones can be found on like sites like Facebook, Google Plus or third party sites like Avvo.
-
Ask Them Plenty Of Questions
When you first meet with an attorney, always come armed with a list of questions that you would like to know the answers to. They could be as simple as whether they have helped workers like you before, of more complex like exact details of financial settlements or long-term medical cover. They should also be able to explain the process of filing a compensation claim clearly and in a way that is easy for you to digest and understand.
Remember, you are not hiring them to represent you at this stage, so if you are not happy with the responses they provide, you do not have to hire them.
-
Get A Feel For The Team
Your attorney will sometimes be busy with a heavy caseload, so it is important that you feel just as confident leaving messages or asking for assistance with his or her secretary and legal assistants. A good attorney will expect his team to treat you as a valued client at all times, regardless of whether or not they deal with you directly.
-
Go With Your Gut
Your attorney should inspire confidence in you and always have your best interests at heart. You should feel confident that they have enough experience to be able to assist you, and the demeanor and professionalism to deal with you as a client. Most importantly, go with your gut.
