One of the most important question in your case is when do you need a lawyer to represent you? You do not need to have any money to hire a lawyer to help you with your injury claim. Whether you were injured in an automobile accident or a job accident.
During the course of our representation of many injured workers, we come across questions like this one, what type of cervical surgery will be helping one to recover in an opportune time and be able to go back to work in a relatively short time?

Is it like what a Justice on the US Supreme Court once said when asked what is pornography? He said: “I will know it when I see it.” Well, that is a little crazy! But so is pain and suffering.
No, but many insurers will push you into a corner, then say they want to discuss settlement with you. If you are ready to settle, you need to sit down with your lawyer (me) and devise a strategy.
