Take My Advice: Hire a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer!
I couldn’t believe it.
I sent off the initial Workers Comp documents to claim our Comp benefits for my husband’s injury. He’d fallen at work, and both of us thought our paperwork was great, and it would be an open-and-shut kind of thing.
Wrong! I was so wrong.
I made a ton of mistakes on the paperwork for our Workers’ Comp claim. I thought that since we’d been waiting so long to get an answer about the claim, our next correspondence would be the workers’ Comp benefits we waited for. When that wasn’t the answer we received, I was heartbroken. I ended up with a ton of messy paperwork to send back to Workers’ Comp (my own fault), and no guidance on how to avoid a similar mistake.
The money was quickly dwindling, and here I was with an injured husband, very little money in the bank, and a mess of Workers’ Comp papers I didn’t know how to handle. And as you know, living in Houston isn’t cheap. We had a high mortgage, mouths to feed, and I felt like I was running out of options.
A friend of mine hired Ogletree Abbott to handle her Workers’ Compensation case. She told me that hiring a Workers’ Comp attorney is really the only way to make sure there are no mistakes on your Comp paperwork, and that you’re guided through the claim and benefits process in a timely fashion.
She was actually right! The turnaround was a lot faster, and I was able to get the Workers’ Comp benefit money for my family that we so deserved.
