I’ve been through the personal injury scene already and someone who was a good friend of mine, pointed me to the wrong lawyer. It supposedly held up in court. So she says. I got hurt in Aug. of 2013 and I was given 80% disability from workers comp in 2019. I didn’t start collecting SSDI until 2021.
In most states, workers' comp is the exclusive remedy against yoyr employer with some exceptions like product liability. The benefit to PI is pain and suffering is not available in WC.
I worked in the federal system. Many of the lawyers who appeared in my whistleblower cases are national... you've probably blown the statute of limitations.
There is an offset between SSID and state workers' comp. If it was a safety issue OSHA was the investigating agency for approximately 30 different types of cases.
For me or the lawyer?
BOTH.,But most statutes provide shifing attorney's fees and if therre are more like you, lots more for the lawyer.
Mostly they don't charge up front. Mostly they won't take a case they think they can lose.
Depends on the fact pattern. But if your employer caused an accident or injured you, they will take your case.

My mistake was not going to a big law firm.

It can't hurt to talk to them.
