There are several reasons why it is better to hire a lawyer than a self-employed paralegal or to represent yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; An attorney cannot charge an injured worker fees.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is against the law for an attorney to charge an injured worker fees. &nbsp;If the case is successful, the attorney will be paid by the insurance company at the end of it. Either the attorney will be paid when the case settles or when the Board issues a decision. The fees that the attorney earns are in addition to the award made to the employee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paralegals charge money up front, win, lose, or draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; An attorney will pursue your case efficiently.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes a case needs to be litigated with numerous petitions. For instance, if the employer\u2019s attorney asks for a medical or employment release that is improper, a petition for protective order needs to be filed to protect the employee\u2019s rights. An experience attorney will know when a petition is necessary. The attorney won\u2019t waste the Board\u2019s time with frivolous filings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; An attorney will be current on the law.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Workers compensation attorneys attend an annual seminar reviewing all the legal developments. They also attend monthly meetings addressing current issues in depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; An attorney\u2019s conduct is governed by ethics. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An Alaska attorney  is governed by the Alaska Rules of Professional Conduct. If someone suspects he or she has violated these rules, a complaint can be lodged with the Alaska Bar Association. The Bar will investigate and make a decision on the complaint which can lead to discipline such as suspension or disbarment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No one oversees paralegals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; You can check an attorney\u2019s experience.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re curious as to the cases a specific attorney has won or lost. Go to the Alaska Workers Compensation Board's website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.labor.alaska.gov\/wc\/wcboard.htm\">Alaska Workers' Compensation Board<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Select \"Legal Research\" in the right hand menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.keenanpowell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/AWCB.jpg?ssl=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1222\" height=\"944\" data-attachment-id=\"1093\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.keenanpowell.com\/blog\/2021\/05\/28\/hiring-a-workers-compensation-attorney-2\/awcb\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.keenanpowell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/AWCB.jpg?fit=1222%2C944&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1222,944\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1622199386&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"AWCB\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.keenanpowell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/AWCB.jpg?fit=300%2C232&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.keenanpowell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/AWCB.jpg?fit=625%2C483&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.keenanpowell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/AWCB.jpg?fit=625%2C483\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1093\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.keenanpowell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/AWCB.jpg?w=1222&amp;ssl=1 1222w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.keenanpowell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/AWCB.jpg?resize=300%2C232&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.keenanpowell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/AWCB.jpg?resize=1024%2C791&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.keenanpowell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/AWCB.jpg?resize=768%2C593&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.keenanpowell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/AWCB.jpg?resize=960%2C742&amp;ssl=1 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Select Search Alaska Supreme Court Opinions or Search Board Decisions and Orders or Commission Final Decisions and Memorandum Decisions.
