Let us help take the confusion out of workers' compensation.
Let us help take the confusion out of workers' compensation.
Our primary goal at McMannus Law is to educate our clients about how the workers' compensation system actually operates, so that they can be part of the decision-making process and regain some level of control over an otherwise helpless feeling situation. From experience, we have learned that the majority of injured workers have little to no understanding or are completely misinformed about their rights and responsibilities. We pride ourselves on empowering our clients and making a difficult situation a little more tolerable.
When you bump up against "no"s, you don't necessarily have to sit back and take it. We deal directly with the insurance company and their attorneys, eliminating the stress of feeling overmatched. We'll explore whether the "fight" is worth it and decide how to proceed together. Whether your issue needs to be mediated or addressed by a judge, we fight the good fight, so you don't have to.
Contact us for a free consultation and to learn how our fees work. (Just so you know, we do not charge on an hourly basis. We usually only get paid if we are either able to obtain or maintain benefits or if we are able to secure a settlement for you.) Let us help you figure out whether you even need an attorney or just a little direction. The sooner you get answers, the better you'll feel. You don't have to be alone in this process.
Carol McMannus grew up in Hampden. Carol has been practicing law in Maine since 1992, when she started her own general practice in Gorham. She later graduated to a small firm in Freeport, and then in 1997 joined a firm in Portland where she began her workers' compensation career. For many years she represented insurance companies and employers, learning the ins and outs of a system, that while seeming to be straightforward, is anything but.
After putting on the employee representative hat a few years ago, Carol learned the truth about people like you who are suffering from work injuries...you know very little about the system, let alone how to navigate it, and you are in desperate need of direction. She started spending more time helping people to understand the reality of their situation, so they would be better prepared to participate in determining their own path forward. She heard you, and she's here to help.
That all depends. Sometimes you just need a little redirection and are able to proceed on your own. Other times you need or simply want ongoing legal support, because it's too much to take on yourself. We'll explore whether representation makes sense for you. The important part is that you, the person most affected by your injury, no longer feels alone, helpless, or totally confused.
Ask questions. Get answers. Feel better.
