Aside from obtaining medical assistance, the most important thing you can do in the aftermath of your injury is to ask for help from a workers’ compensation attorney.  Our legal team is here to help you navigate the process necessary to obtain benefits.  We can also appeal your denied claim and consult with those approved for workers’ compensation benefits.  Even those who feel they have not received the benefits they deserve can benefit from meeting with our attorneys.  Alternatively, if you have been falsely accused of committing workers’ compensation fraud, our legal team will fiercely advocate on your behalf to clear you name.

Workers’ Compensation Services

Our personal injury attorneys will push to recover the maximum benefit so you do not have to pay a single penny out-of-pocket or go uncompensated for time missed at work resulting from the injury/illness.  We have successfully represented clients in an array of workers’ compensation matters.  Meet with us and we will assess your case, develop the appropriate legal strategy and help you obtain the compensation you need to cover medical expenses and other related expenses.

In some cases, going to trial is the sole means of obtaining a positive outcome.  However, it is possible to negotiate a lucrative settlement out of court.  In many situations, injured workers prefer to settle as this negotiation process is nowhere near as stressful as battling it out in court.

Unlike some other law firms, we do not put the entire burden of workers’ compensation claims on a single attorney.  We have a full-fledged team of attorneys and support staff consisting of paralegals, secretaries and administrative assistants.  Our team has the experience and knowledge necessary to protect your rights in accordance with the nuances of workers’ compensation laws.  Our team has years of experience fighting to protect the rights of injured workers in the following areas.

Medical Benefits

We can arrange for treating doctors to provide reports or testimony even if you move out of state.  We can also arrange for follow-up testing as required for those exposed to harmful substances and chemicals such as asbestos.  In fact, we can even push for insurance providers to renovate an injured worker’s home if absolutely necessary.

Temporary Disability Benefits

We will zealously advocate on your behalf to obtain temporary disability.  This form of disability is especially important for those who work seasonal or part-time jobs.  Even if you are denied light duty after physician prescribes it, we can still push for temporary disability benefits.

Permanent Disability Benefits

Permanent disability benefits might be available to victims of sexual harassment and those who endure injuries to their hands or other body parts as a result of repetitive stress.  These benefits might also be available to those who suffer a heart attack as a result of work stress,

Death Benefits

If a loved one perishes at work or as a result of an illness resulting from work-related activities, we will zealously advocate on your behalf for death benefits.  Even if your spouse has a heart attack while far away from the office on a business trip, it is possible to obtain death benefits.  Furthermore, if your spouse commits suicide following a work injury or work-related illness, we will strive to obtain death benefits.

Social Security Disability

Whether you are plagued by clinical depression, complex regional pain syndrome, a traumatic brain injury or stress to your hands or another body part, we will attempt to obtain a favorable decision/benefits to compensate for this unfortunate development.

Disability Pension Benefits for Public Employees

Our workers’ compensation attorneys will push for disability pension benefits ranging from accidental disability benefits for myriad workplace incidents including: traumatic brain injuries, attacks and even psychiatric injury.

Disability Benefits for Veterans

Veterans are not eligible for Disability Compensation Benefits unless they have a medical condition or injury that was aggravated or caused by active duty service.  Disability compensation provides a monthly payment that is completely tax-free to veterans eligible for disabilities related to their time in the service.  The monthly compensation figure is not impacted by the Veteran’s level of income or assets.  What matters most is the number of disabilities the veteran has and the severity of those conditions.

Examples of Injured Workers We Have Represented
