1. Ask Questions - Most personal injury or worker's compensation attorneys, like Attorney T. Morton, will give you a free initial consultation. During this time, you should ask questions. Some key questions you should ask are:
3. Consider the experience the attorney has in dealing with your specific type of case. Experience counts. Ask about it. Additionally, find out if he/she has resources and/or contacts (ex. medical professionals, experts, etc...) that will collaborate with him/her to meet your case's needs. 4. Pay attention to the attentiveness, thoroughness and responsiveness of the attorney. You are more than just another client and should be given the attention you deserve during this difficult time. Are your calls/emails responded to in a timely fashion? Is the attorney taking time to explain to you, in a way that you understand, what is going on with your case? Is it clear that you, and your case, are a priority? 5. Ask for referrals from former clients and/or other attorneys. You may want to consider calling other lawyers (perhaps in non-competing practices) and finding out what the reputation of the attorney you are considering is. Former clients are also likely to give you open and honest insight into what it will be like to work with the attorney. Choosing an attorney is an important decision. Attorney T. Morton, and her team, are here to serve you. We hope that you will use our five quick tips and consider taking action, with us on your side, today. Call 913.620.7288 or complete our FORM.

Thanks for explaining how you want to consider what kind of resources a workers comp lawyer employs. Finding someone with a lot of quality resources would really be helpful to the success of your case. My husband and I are looking for a lawyer to help us file a worker's comp claim, so we'll have to check their resources first. 4/18/2018 03:56:39 pm
It's great that you've mentioned that a worker's compensation lawyer should have resources and contacts that will collaborate with them for your case. I believe that having a wide network is a must for an attorney because it can help improve their chances of winning and at the same time get more information than if they work alone. I'll definitely share this with anyone who might need a worker's compensation lawyer so that they know how to look for the right one. 8/9/2018 02:32:22 pm
Thanks for the tip about considering the fees of a worker's comp lawyer before you choose them. Finding someone who charges a reasonable fee would probably be ideal.

My brother was recently injured while handling a project at work and he is thinking about hiring an attorney to make sure he gets the workers compensation that he deserves. It makes a lot of sense that you say to have consultations with your top potential attornies because this would be a great way for my brother to ask questions about their experience and fees. Also, I think it would be a good idea for my brother to choose an attorney who specializes in workers compensation because they will be the most knowedlgeba about his specific case. 2/21/2019 07:29:16 pm
I agree that checking with the local bar association is a good idea when choosing a worker's comp lawyer. Finding someone who is qualified and experienced would also be nice. My husband and I are looking for a worker's comp lawyer, so we'll have to check with the bar first. 4/5/2019 06:35:04 pm
I like how you pointed out that getting an attorney who has specific experience with the field that you're looking to file a case in--in this instance, workers' compensation--is a big plus since they already know what to do, and how to speak with insurance companies who would refuse payment right out of the gate. Another thing to consider is to ask for referrals since there's bound to be other people who've also encountered the same concern and would be more than willing to help others who are going through the same experience out by recommending the same lawyer that they'd hired previously. If I had the chance to look for a workers' compensation lawyer I would make sure that they are qualified to handle the case so that I can leave it in good hands while recovering at home. 4/18/2019 07:31:03 pm

My brother works in landscaping and it gets pretty dangerous sometimes. It would benefit him if he knew the laws of worker's compensation and if he ever needed to be a good lawyer. I'll be sure to tell him that he needs to pay attention to how they respond to calls and emails. 6/29/2019 09:52:02 am
