The law office of David M. Blank in Kentucky is ready to help clients who have been injured through the negligence or carelessness of another person. The injury may have been caused by situations such as a vehicle accident, a workplace accident or an incident while a person was a customer at a place of business. As a workers compensation attorney in Florence KY, Mr. Blank represents individuals who have been hurt on the job and need funds to replace their lost income as they recover.
An individual may need to hire a worker’s compensation lawyer if his claim has been denied. He also may need a lawyer if the company’s insurance carrier has offered him a settlement, but that settlement is much lower than what the worker actually deserves for factors such as lost income, medical bills, pain and suffering, and loss of ability to participate in his usual activities.
This workers compensation attorney in Florence KY provides legal counsel to his clients, consisting of recommendations of the path to pursue and other relevant advice. He may mention to the client, for instance, that some insurance companies hire private investigators to watch worker’s compensation claimants and try to obtain evidence that these individuals are actually not disabled to any great degree. The lawyer’s client may never have even realized that this occurs. That can come back to cause problems for him, however, if an investigator sees him doing something as innocent as loading boxes into the back of his pickup truck. The person may be able to do a very small amount of medium-weight lifting, but that does not mean he will be able to stand for any length of time at his assembly-line job.
Without adequate worker’s compensation, an individual may have a tough time getting back on his feet financially after a severe injury. When he does not have his usual wages coming in, bills can pile up, and he may feel forced to take out a high-interest loan or to use his credit cards to pay his utility bills. Lack of income often leads to a draining of a person’s savings. This is obviously very upsetting to a person who was injured on the job due to negligence or carelessness of management or other employees.
