Legal Answers
Q. can I qualify for workers compensation if I develop migraine and high blood pressure while working?
A: I cannot say that you cannot file this under workers' compensation but I would not represent you and I doubt you would be able to find an attorney that would. You can contact the Office Of Injured Employee Counsel at 1-866-393-6432. The type of injuries of which you speak are really ordinary diseases of life. I would advise you to file this under your private health.
Q. Hello. I have a question in regards to hiring a different attorney on my workers comp case in Texas.What is the process?
A: While you are always free to fire and then hire a new workers' comp attorney, the 2nd attorney will, in many cases, not be willing to represent you because you have to make sure your first attorney doesn't have a big attorney fee bill that needs to be satisfied first. Attorneys like to help, but we can't be working without some guarantee of payment.
Q. I have lifetime medical through Texas mutual workers Comp insurance and after five or six surgeries to my foot it finall
A: You are still entitled to reasonable and necessary medical care only. If you have not had an impairment rating and/or it's still within 90 days, you could challenge the rating and obtain a higher rating. I don't know if you have other injuries, that would qualify you for lifetime income benefits because enough facts have not been supplied. I will assume the foot is your only injury for now.
