Most injured workers want nothing more than to recover from their injuries and return to work. However, since mortgage payments, car payments, and grocery bills do not stop when an injury occurs, many people are hesitant to report work injuries or challenge denied workers' compensation claims. Workers injured on the job have several concerns:

• How will I support my family?
• Will I lose my job?
• When can I go back to work?

Our attorneys are dedicated to providing injured workers the answers to those questions. In almost all cases, workers' compensation insurance compensates injured workers for medical expenses and lost wages related to a work injury. However, it is important to report the date and place that an injury occurred to the employers.

We help injured workers with all aspects of a workers' compensation claim. Our attorneys have successfully represented clients whose claims have been denied, as well as people ordered to return to work before their injuries have healed. We are dedicated to doing what is right for each client we represent.

Third Party Personal Injury Claims

A workers' compensation claim may not be the only way for an injured worker to recover financially. In many cases, there is a secondary personal injury claim. Many worksites have multiple contractors and subcontractors working on the same project. If the negligence of another company's employee causes an injury, there may be a third party liability claim. If a worker is injured in a car accident or trucking accident while on the job, there may be a third party liability claim. We examine all aspects of a case and strive to maximize the compensation we receive for our clients and their families.

Representative Cases

• Six figure recovery for a hand injury involving a defective machinery safety cut-off switch.
