Q: I am receiving weekly benefits while I am off of work, and the workers' compensation insurance carrier is paying all of my medical benefits.  Do I really need an attorney if this is happening?

A: You may or may not need an attorney at this stage of your workers' compensation claim.  However, you may be receiving benefits that are less than what you are actually owed.  Furthermore,it is easier to prevent problems from happening than it is to fix problems after they have already occurred, espcially in the workers' compensation arena.
