Any injury that happens at work, from physical harm to emotional distress to psychological trauma, can be a workers' comp case. In situations such as this, there is a workers' comp insurance that'll cover the medical expenses and costs that are needed in order for the employee or worker to recover. In most situations, workers need a lawyer because their injuries are too severe to ignore, or they feel threatened and ignored by their employer and workplace. Sometimes, injured victims are not taken seriously because of their age, gender, or the diagnosis of their injury--that's when a lawyer is needed so that your workers' comp case gets the attention it deserves.
