Benefits Under Workers' Compensation
Workers' compensation pays for your medical and hospital bills, lost wages, and some other expenses. In addition to receiving benefits under the workers' compensation program, you may also be able to file a third party personal injury lawsuit if your injuries were caused by a third party such as a delivery driver, maintenance worker or even another driver if you were on the road for your employer. Our attorney will advise you about this type of claim that could increase your compensation.
Answering Questions About Workers' Compensation
Can I get fired?
When you visit our office for your free initial consultation, we review your case and answer your questions. Many people are concerned that they might get fired or disciplined at work because they have hired a lawyer. We explain that hiring a lawyer cannot affect their jobs.
My first claim was denied. Can you help me?
We advise people to take action quickly after their workers' compensation claims are denied. Injured workers have 60 days to notify workers' compensation of the intent to file an appeal. We handle appeals almost every day, and we know how to structure them for maximum effect. Because of our in-depth knowledge of workers' compensation, our law firm is well placed to handle any appeal.
How do I report an injury?
We advise you about the process from reporting your injury to filing a lawsuit in federal court and everything in between.
