Workers' Compensation

When a person is injured at work, it can be frustrating and difficult to deal with the legal system. The injured worker suddenly has hundreds of questions and no one to answer them. The employer tells the employee one thing, the workers' compensation insurance carrier says another, and the medical personnel hired by the employer or insurance company may be telling the employee something altogether different. If you have been injured and are unsure of your rights, you should contact an experienced workers' compensation attorney immediately. Your attorney can help you:

• obtain weekly benefits
• fight unreasonable requests by the employer or insurance company
• defend attempts to reduce or eliminate benefits
• reinstate benefits
• get medical bills paid
• get appropriate medical treatment
• resolve your claim

Our firm represents workers who are injured on the job in claims for lost wages and medical treatment expenses against private industry, federal and state and local government employers and their workers' compensation insurers. Workers' compensation injuries are, unfortunately, common these days and we regularly handle claims involving carpal tunnel syndrome, hand and shoulder injuries, neck, back and knee injuries and injuries affecting other parts of the body. We also handle issues dealing with defenses, fraud, subrogation and appeals.
