Workers Compensation

Federal and state workers’ compensation laws were created to make sure workers who were injured on the job receive the compensation they need to recover, both physically and economically. Unfortunately, many employees who are injured at work are being short-changed by their employer or insurance company.

If you or a loved one has been injured at work, do not settle for bare minimum benefits or substandard medical care. Fill out our free form to the right to ensure you are getting the care you deserve following your work accident.

Many workers’ compensation laws allow injured employees to recover medical and income benefits. These injured workers should receive treatment for all injuries sustained at work, not just the ones the insurance carrier is willing to accept. Luckily, a workers’ compensation lawyer can get coverage for these injuries and stop harassment from your employer who may want you back at work before your physician feels you are ready. In addition, an attorney can help make sure you are getting medical care from a doctor you feel comfortable with—not one supplied by the insurance company.

Workers’ compensation law also allows families to receive benefits if a worker is killed on the job. Although most employees are covered, different workers’ compensation laws exist for railroad employees, longshoremen, federal employees and seamen who are killed or injured at work. A skilled workers’ compensation attorney can identify the proper workers’ compensation law and assist with their claim.

Whether your workers’ compensation falls under a special law, such as the Jones Act, or under general workers’ compensation regulations, our attorneys can help. We handle all types of workers’ compensation claims, including those stemming from construction, factory, maritime and industrial accidents. We will investigate the cause of your injury and the negligence of primary and third parties. We pursue compensation for a variety of workplace injuries, including:

• Knee injuries
• Back injuries
• Amputation
• Burns
• Hearing and vision loss
• Repetitive stress disorders

Remember that when you are injured at work, your employer and their insurance company are probably giving you the bare minimum in workers’ compensation benefits. However, by contacting a workers’ compensation attorney, you can be assured you are getting the medical care and compensation you deserve.
