: hello all, my question: Is it o.k. to ask your employer who there work comp. lawyer is? is it ik to negotiate with them on what you will settle for out of court on a work comp. claim?

Hi Bloomer,
It is not normally a Companies Work Comp Lawyer you would be dealing with but their insurance adjuster. You can try to negotiate but it might be more worthwhile to retain a lawyer. There are a lot of laws that the general public is unaware of as well as benefits that noone will explain except someone working in your corner. I would suggest a lawyer.
Good Luck
