Why Rutter Mills?
First, hiring a workers’ compensation attorney who is well-versed in all aspects of workers’ compensation regulations means that all paperwork is submitted correctly and on time. In addition, if your claim is denied, your attorney can file an appeal and represent you during hearings. While it is possible to appeal a denial on your own, it is not advisable due to the intricate rules and regulations involved. Your employer and their insurance will also be armed with attorneys that use every trick in the book to try and disqualify you from any compensation.
Further, under workers’ compensation, you cannot sue your employer. However, employees can sometimes sue third parties whose careless actions caused their accidents. Common defendants include drivers and manufacturers of defective equipment. A personal injury claim can seek additional compensation to cover damages outside workers’ comp benefits, like pain and suffering and emotional anguish. For 65 years, our workers’ comp lawyers in Portsmouth have excelled at winning these cases.
