Question

Why is it so hard to get a decent attorney for workman's comp. I'm up against Zurich .?

Answer 1

I was on workman's comp. I did not get an attorney. Why? Because I had friends in the insurance business who told me to learn the law myself and represent myself. If I got an attorney my company, by law, could not talk to me therefore help me get the surgery I needed. I went to the state laws on the web and got the information I needed and told my company to bypass the insurance utilization review boards decision to not have surgery. I got the surgery with the help of my company through human resources.

Workmans comp laws sucks bad and that is why it is hard to get a good attorney and insurance companies are almost evil. Good luck!

Answer 2

Answer 3

Is the emphasis on GET, or DECENT?  

If you can't GET one, it's because you don't have much of a case.  If the ones you're getting aren't doing what you want them to, you either have to fire them and get another one, or maybe you're misunderstanding how workers comp works in your state.
