Workers’ Compensation claims present complicated legal issues that may permanently affect an injured worker’s economic and vocational future. It is a highly technical area where an injured worker has much to gain if well represented and much to lose if not. You cannot rely on advice given you by the insurance company or your employer. Their interests, in most cases, are adverse to yours. You should seek the advice of an experienced workers’ compensation specialist about your rights and benefits to make sure you are being treated fairly. Because there are many potential pitfalls in workers’ compensation cases, we encourage potential clients to take advantage of our free initial consultation to determine if you need representation. We generally do not require you to pay us any money up front and usually handle cases on a 20 percent contingent fee basis.

We represent injured workers only; never employers or insurance companies. We can help you recover money and other compensation for injuries or diseases sustained at work. We also help obtain benefits for dependents of workers killed because of work-related accidents or illnesses. When an injury at work is also related to the fault or negligence of someone other than the employer (such as because of defective machinery, a motor vehicle accident, or a contractor’s error) we often can assist in pursuing these claims as well.
