One of the primary reasons for consulting with an attorney is to resolve doubt and uncertainty by asking questions and receiving informed answers. Prior to the first consultation, it is certainly wise to consider all of your questions and draft a final list of them on paper.
*Answers
Your workers’ compensation attorney will undoubtedly ask you questions as well. You must be able to briefly describe and summarize your medical treatment to date. Be prepared to also discuss the following with your attorney:
- when you were hired;

- how and when you notified your employer about the injury, and who received the notice; and
- when and where you first sought medical treatment.
