[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1438217, member: 13921"] Read up on your state's comp laws. You may not need an attorney. Some states (like mine) provide a WC case worker that advocates for you and makes sure that the employer and insurer follow the law. The case worker also watches to make sure that you are doing the PT and following Dr's orders. You are going to have surgery, so TAW no longer applies in your case. If you do choose an attorney, choose carefully. The attorney will probably work on a contingency and you should be entitled to the difference between comp and your wages, plus if you get a state mandated settlement due to a maximum medical improvement of less than 100%, your attorney will take a chunk of that also.
