Do I need an attorney?

This would depend on the nature of your case. If you have sustained injuries such as a bruise or small cut that would heal completely, and the Employer/Insurer have agreed to pay your medical bills, it should not be necessary to have attorney assistance.

If however, the injury is of a more serious nature or if your claim is being contested by the Employer/Insurer, you would be well advised to retain the assistance of an attorney to assist you in navigating the very complicated claim process.
