I’m still on the fence about getting help for a knee injury I got working at a nursery near Catskill, mostly because I don’t really understand what a lawyer would even do for me besides maybe send a few letters. Like, do they just file paperwork and show up to a hearing, or are they actually hounding the insurance company every week on your behalf? I tried looking up the process online and saw that a workers compensation attorney serving Catskill typically handles things like gathering medical evidence, negotiating settlements, and making sure you don’t miss deadlines, but I’m wondering how much handholding there really is. Has anyone here hired one and can break down what a typical week looked like? Did they call you with updates or did you have to chase them? I’m not trying to be high maintenance, but I also don’t want to pay someone a chunk of my settlement just to have them ghost me unless I call first. Any honest breakdown of the pros and cons would seriously help me decide.
