I retained a lawyer for a workman's comp case I am currently going through and I have been unable to get a hold of him numerous times I was just wondering if I could fire my lawyer and get a new one
Hi ****! In Nebraska, you have the right to fire your lawyer at any time, even in a worker's comp case. However, consider the following:
- Review your contract for any termination clauses.
- Inform your lawyer in writing.
- Be prepared for potential costs involved.
Would you like guidance on finding a new lawyer?
I was cut off of my workman's comp disability payments even though the doctor had not released me without restriction to go back to work and I need to get those going again but the insurance company won't talk to me because I have a lawyer and my lawyer keeps blowing me off
That sounds frustrating, ****. Would you like me to connect you with local lawyers who can better assist you with your workers' comp case? They might help in getting your payments reinstated.
