This video reviews whether it's ever too early or too late to hire an attorney. If you are an injured worker with a California injury, and don’t have an attorney, this video is intended to help provide an overview of workers’ compensation topics so you can better represent yourself.
This channel is aimed at injured worker's who do not have an attorney. However, they sometimes wonder, "Maybe I should have hired an attorney. Is it too late?" The short answer is "no." An attorney can be hired at any time in the workers' comp case, but too early may be a red flag, and too late may leave the attorney without many options to help.
Jeremy Lusk is a certified specialist in workers’ compensation with about two decades of experience, and previously served as a Judge at the Fresno District Office of the WCAB. He has worked out of Fresno, but appeared at numerous Boards to represent both injured workers and employers/carriers.
No attorney/client relationship is created or implied by this video. This video is not offering legal advice as to what you should, or should not, do in your workers’ compensation case, but rather offers education/information as to the California workers’ compensation system for unrepresented workers so they can better represent themselves and make more informed decisions.
