Lucas Foust:
Hi. This is Lucas Foust from Foust Law Office. And I'm here To talk about another situation in which I really believe that an attorney is necessary in a workers compensation case.
Lucas Foust:
If your loved one has been injured or you have been injured seriously enough that you require at-home care, I strongly encourage you to retain a lawyer for this reason. As a rule and in my experience in handling domiciliary care cases, the insurance carrier, they're very reluctant to begin making payments for domiciliary care. In addition, those payments that they make are often sometimes shortchanged and they're not as much as they're legally required to pay. A domiciliary care claim is a significant claim under the Workers Compensation Act, and it's a huge burden on your family if you have to take care of someone who's been seriously injured at work. It happens an awful lot. Montana is one of the most dangerous places in the country to work, along with Wyoming, and North Dakota.
Lucas Foust:
If your loved one is seriously injured, I really encourage you to become informed about the entire situation, download as much educational material that you believe is necessary from this website. Also, I strongly encourage you to contact an attorney if your loved one has been injured seriously enough that they require 24-hour care, or if they require more than eight hours a day of care. Again, download all the information that's on this website. If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at Foust Law Office. And a Foust Law Office we believe that an informed client is a better client.
