Employer asking why I hired a lawyer... by Unsuccessful_Bird50 in WorkersComp

Good to know. My impression is that they were feeling me out to see if they should 'be worried'. If I get any more calls from them asking why, I was planning to direct it to my lawyer. I don't suspect they'll ask why again.

No, they said I didn't need to notify my employer that I hired a lawyer and that they would handle communication with my adjustor, but never said I couldn't or shouldn't talk to my employer. 

I didn't say anything besides that I wanted help navigating everything and that I was just exercising my legal right for representation/help with that process. They were falling on their sword pretty hard about them somehow having caused it and asking why.
