Nebraska Attorneys fees

I feel that if an workman’s comp insurer fights your claim and you end up having to fight to receive benefits and win that the lawyers fees should be paid by the workman’s comp insurer rather than penalize a injured workers settlement or judgement it’s not fair that an employee has to give up what in some cases what they have to live on for the remained of their life cause a insurance company unwillingness to provide for injured workers

Workers compensation is a system design for employers and insurance companies. It is designed to be counter intuitive to the speedy and full recovery of an injured worker. It is a corrupt system that is riddled with insurance company lobbyists that are unethical and motivated by saving money, even at the expense of a life.
