Role of a lawyer in a NC workers comp case.

• kbunn's blog

I frequently get asked by potential NC workers' compensation clients how much time a client can expect to spend with me versus somebody else in my office.  I think lawyers need to talk to clients about every important issue in the case and not push that off on a paralegal or assistant.  If you are injured on the job in North Carolina, you are already going through a lot.  The last thing you need is a bunch of second and third hand miscommunications.

You should speak with a lawyer about your workmans comp claim before you hire them.  It sounds simple enough, but it is amazing how many people tell me they called a law firm and the decision whether to take the case or not was made by someone who does not practice workers' compensation law in North Carolina.  My paralegal plays a critical role in my office.  But she does not decide which cases to take or how to proceed with a claim.  A workers comp attorney just has to find the time to talk with his clients.
