Workers' Compensation

Fighting for Injured Workers' Rights

Every worker deserves a safe workplace, and when injuries occur on the job, you deserve fair compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term disability. Unfortunately, insurance companies and employers often try to minimize or deny legitimate workers' compensation claims. Our experienced attorneys level the playing field, advocating aggressively for injured workers to ensure they receive the full benefits they are entitled to under the law.

Workplace Injuries

Workplace injuries can range from minor sprains to catastrophic accidents that permanently change your life. We represent workers injured in construction accidents, manufacturing incidents, slip and fall accidents, vehicle collisions while on the job, repetitive stress injuries, and any other work-related injuries. Our attorneys ensure your claim is properly documented, filed on time, and pursued to secure maximum benefits including medical treatment, wage replacement, and permanent disability compensation.

Occupational Illness

Not all work-related conditions result from a single accident. Many workers develop serious illnesses from prolonged exposure to hazardous substances, toxic chemicals, asbestos, loud noise, or repetitive physical demands. We handle claims for occupational diseases including mesothelioma, hearing loss, respiratory conditions, chemical sensitivities, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other conditions that develop over time due to workplace exposures. These claims require specialized knowledge to establish the connection between your work environment and your condition.

Denied Claims

Having your workers' compensation claim denied can feel devastating, but a denial is not the end of the road. Insurance companies deny claims for many reasons, including disputes about whether the injury is work-related, allegations of pre-existing conditions, missed deadlines, or insufficient documentation. Our attorneys have extensive experience appealing denied claims, presenting additional evidence, and arguing before workers' compensation boards and judges to overturn improper denials and secure the benefits you deserve.

Third-Party Claims

In many workplace injury cases, a party other than your employer may share responsibility for your injuries. These third-party claims can arise from defective equipment or machinery, negligent subcontractors, dangerous property conditions maintained by a building owner, or toxic substances manufactured by another company. Unlike workers' compensation, third-party claims allow you to pursue full damages including pain and suffering, providing additional compensation beyond what workers' comp benefits alone would offer.

Disability Benefits

When a workplace injury results in temporary or permanent disability, you may be entitled to significant ongoing benefits. We help injured workers obtain temporary total disability benefits while recovering, temporary partial disability when returning to limited work, permanent partial disability for lasting impairments, and permanent total disability when injuries prevent any future employment. Our attorneys work with medical experts to accurately document the extent of your disability and fight for appropriate compensation.

Your Rights as an Injured Worker

It is important to understand that you have the right to file a workers' compensation claim without fear of retaliation from your employer. You have the right to choose your own attorney, seek appropriate medical treatment, and appeal any decision you believe is unfair. Our attorneys protect these rights and ensure that insurance companies and employers do not take advantage of injured workers during a vulnerable time.
