One of the main goals of a workers’ compensation attorney is to give their clients a better chance of obtaining the compensation benefits they deserve. Whether it is a claim for damages through the workers’ compensation system or filing a workers’ compensation lawsuit, you need to guide plaintiffs through the process of estimating damages, negotiating a settlement with the employer, or filing suit if doing so is necessary.
