Do you lose your maintenance and cure if you hire an attorney or lawyer? Not according to the law- learn more here.
If you hire an attorney your company should not legally stop payment of maintenance benefits to you. A lot of our clients ask, I'm scared, if I hire an attorney is my company going to stop paying maintenance to me? The answer is no. Your right to maintenance benefits continues until you reach maximum cure.
Your right to maintenance benefits do not have anything to do with whether or not you hire an attorney. Call us if you have any questions at all. The law is very clear on this issue. We can explain your rights, choices and options to you.
