Workers’ Compensation

Injured on the job? We will fight for the workers’ compensation benefits you deserve.

Just about every occupation carries some risk of injury, whether that be from an accident on the job, the strain of repetitive motions, or occupational exposure to chemicals and other hazardous substances. Workers’ compensation insurance provides a valuable safety net for individuals who suffer work-related injuries or illness.

Workers’ Compensation Is Complicated—Let Us Be Your Guide

Securing the benefits you need and deserve from your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance is never a simple matter. There is plenty of red tape involved that could easily trip you up and result in the unfair denial of your claim—unless you have an experienced workers’ compensation attorney on your side.

You need aggressive representation to fight the insurance company and the insurance company’s attorney to get you the compensation you deserve. We will guide you through all the steps required to advance your claim, including:

  • Responding to denials of medical treatment

  • Making sure you see an independent, neutral doctor for an evaluation.

  • Filing all necessary workers’ compensation claim paperwork for you.

What Kind of Workers’ Compensation Benefits Can I Receive?

Worker’s compensation provides the following types of benefits:

  • Medical treatment

  • Temporary disability payments

  • Permanent disability payments

  • Lump sum payment options

Unfortunately, insurance companies often try to reduce or deny these benefits. For example, they may argue that you are not actually disabled by your injury or illness, or that your condition is not work-related. We know how to fight back against these kinds of tactics. As your workers’ compensation attorney, we will stand up for your rights and create the strongest possible legal argument for you to receive full and fair compensation.

When Will I Receive My Benefits?

You can get medical care for your injury or illness immediately. If medical providers know you have a pending workers’ compensation claim, they cannot attempt to collect payment for treatment, from you directly. In order to receive other benefits, your claim must be approved by the insurance company. Unfortunately, there is no way to predict when this will happen, as offers to settle are made on the insurance company’s schedule. In some cases, we may need to take your case to court to secure the benefits you need and deserve.
