Workmans Comp Injury

[mypassion2]

This is my second thread on the same issue. My employer will not talk with me. (Read my First Thread) Should I hire a lawyer to go after my benefits?
I can't work, I am running up hospital bills, have already had a CAT Scan.
Can anyone tell me if I should hire an attorney?

The issue is whether the employer has filed a First Report of Injury with their WC carrier. If your employer has not or they refuse to tell you, then contact your State's Worker's Compensation Division and report the injury. They will file the claim on your behalf with the employer and the WC carrier. They may also take issue with the employer failing to file the claim themselves.

Contact the State and see if they can assist you before deciding whether you need a WC attorney.
