Even though employees are supposed to be covered through the Arizona workers’ compensation system, it is not uncommon for problems to arise that cause claims to be delayed or denied. However, when a work injury victim has assistance from a skilled Arizona workers’ comp attorney, they will be gaining an advocate who can use their resources to handle every aspect of the claim.
An attorney will be responsible for gathering the evidence needed to prove what happened to cause the injury, working with medical professionals who can examine the client, and negotiating with every party in an effort to reach a fair settlement.
Arizona has strong worker protection laws in place, which include ensuring that nearly every employee in the state is covered through the workers’ compensation insurance system. This system is considered “no-fault,” which means an employee should be able to receive compensation for any on-the-job injury regardless of who caused the incident.
