In Indiana, there are first-party workers’ comp claims and there are third-party workers’ comp claims. Generally speaking, a person would not necessarily need to have a lawyer if it’s a first-party workers’ compensation claim unless the person has significant injuries and there’s the potential of dipping into the Indiana workers’ compensation fund for future medicals.
If the person has a first-party workers’ compensation claim and they have a permanent condition, but they’re not going to have future treatment, then they should at least have their case run by a first-party workers’ compensation attorney.
