You pay nothing until we win

Often, workplace injuries are covered by workers’ compensation – although not always – so most people will have their bills covered and still receive partial wages. However, no one can claim that filing a workers’ compensation claim is easy and hassle-free. In many situations, it helps to have a Nampa workers’ compensation attorney from Andrew Injury Law overseeing your claim.
For your workplace injury to be compensable, you need to be employed by the company you work for, and it has to have occurred during work hours and while you were working for the employer. However, even if all these conditions are met, there are instances where your injury might not be considered compensable by insurance companies. That’s why speaking with an attorney is a good idea.
There is no legal obligation stipulating that you must have a lawyer for your workers’ comp claim if you have been hurt at work. Usually, if there is no dispute about your injury being work-related and minimal work is missed, you can file on your own. In addition, if your injuries are straightforward and you have no pre-existing medical conditions that can complicate your case, you might have a smooth process. You can always hire a lawyer at any point if complications arise.
