What are the gaps in the worker's knowledge that are typical that would really really hurt their chances in choosing a lawyer or in going forward with their case in whatever way?

What are the myths or gaps that tend to be there which you want to correct?

When it comes to Worker's Compensation first of all if a person has little trouble getting their Compensation at the beginning they usually are lured into a feeling that the company is for them, that they will have no problems that will arise. The adjustor is a nice guy or a nice girl and after all they took care of me at the beginning. Ninety eight percent of the time that's a false feeling because the goal of a Worker's Comp insurance carrier and an employer is to see to it that you are on Compensation for the shortest period of time possible. And so they have a tendency later on in the case to start to push you back to work.
