Call the bar association.

Best way is by personal recommendation: friend of a friend. The firms who have big splashy ads do so only because they have money to throw around.

Jeffrey Lapin · Answer

There are a number of ways to find an attorney who handles work injuries including, but not limited to: recommendations from friends or family; television advertisements; phonebook and internet searches. In the phonebook or internet look for "workers' compensation attorneys.  I cannot give you much advice about your case without knowing more about what happened and what, if anything, your employer or its workers' compensation insurer has done with regard to your injury. You are entitled to have your medical expenses related to your right shoulder injury paid. If you have missed work, you are likely entitled to Temporary Total Disability benefits. You have other rights and responsibilities as well under Nebraska workers' compensation laws.

Maurice Abarr · Answer

Let me know what city you are in and I will give you a referral.

Kevin Habberfield · Answer

It's a workers' compensation claim, unless your injury was caused by someone you do not work for. Most likely, you don't need an attorney you just need to file the comp forms, etc. if you are having trouble with your WC claim, then find a claimants workers compensation attorney near you.

Paul Whitfield · Answer

Make sure the matter is reported to the Industrial Commission and to the insurance carrier of your boss. Bar associations in most cities have lists of lawyers and their specialties. Check the phone book or yellow pages on the web to find a worker comp specialist if the bar does not have a local office.

Thomas Bulman · Answer

You should immediately file a worker's comp claim with the State of Montana if you haven't done so.  If you have, follow your doctor's treatment and try to get a full release back to work as soon as you can.  You don't need an attorney unless the insurer denies your claim or benefits you think you deserve.
