Man, I'm still kind of kicking myself for how I handled things right after my accident at work. I was in such a fog from the pain meds and just wanted to get back to normal that I signed up with the first law firm that sent me a flyer in the mail, and now I'm wondering if I made a mistake. My buddy keeps telling me I should've taken my time and actually looked for a workers compensation attorney Kingston NY instead of just going with whoever called me back fastest, because apparently there's a big difference in how these guys handle things like negotiating with the insurance adjusters and making sure you get proper vocational retraining if you can't go back to your old job. Has anyone here switched lawyers mid-claim? I'm worried it'll just drag things out even longer, but my current guy barely returns my calls and I feel like I'm doing all the legwork myself. Any advice from people who've been through the wringer with this would be awesome.
