“Do I need a workers’ compensation attorney?” This is a common question for many who have suffered workplace injuries in Utah.

It is a good idea to consult with a knowledgeable workers’ compensation attorney if any of the following conditions apply:

• Your injuries are severe enough that they will limit your ability to work on a temporary or permanent basis.
• Your employer or insurance company has offered you compensation that you feel is unfair or inadequate.
• Your medical or wage loss benefits have been denied.
• Your injury has exacerbated an existing injury or medical condition.
• Your injury prevents you from working in your current occupation, but you think you may be able to adjust to other work.
• Your injury was caused by the negligence of a third party such as a product manufacturer, contractor or driver.
• Your medical benefits are denied.
• You are unsure of your rights and would like knowledgeable guidance through the process.

Remember, your employer and the insurance company are protecting their own interests in this matter. When you have your own attorney, your interests and your lawyers’ interests are aligned. When there is a lot at stake, it is important to have a strong advocate who knows the law and can protect your rights.
