Be sure to interview many before choosing/signing with one , really utilize those free first consults. It's a pain to have to change attys in mid claim if you find out the one you chose too quickly is not that great....
Read on your state website under workers compensation for more info about the whole thing.
We have a workers comp forum here too.

Don't panic, generally they will deny unless a very clear cut injury case with witnesses, and no prior injury/illnesses. |
My workers comp lawyer had a fee of 15% if you had won anything, if not no fee.
I understand the feeling of being denied. Been there done that, the best thing to do is hire a lawyer to fight for you. I thankfully was able to get the best one in the state of Ohio. I had 2 hearings and won them both b/c of him. Just a heads up, if/when you a hearing your employer is going to say some outlandish things about your injury. You just have to stay calm and relaxed when they do that.
