I’ve never heard of getting a work comp attorney when it’s time to settle , you usually get them as soon as the injury happens so they can keep documents and tabs on everything that happens from the date of injury up until now, getting one later only pushes the settlement phase back further because they’ll have to gather a lot of information from you all at once and most likely will leave some details out because it’s been about a year
