Legal Assistance for Work-Related Injuries

We all go to work to earn a living to support our families. We work hard doing our job to earn our paychecks and help the company we work for. Unfortunately, accidents do happen while at work. You can slip and fall on a wet floor, objects can fall on you, or you can slip on stairs. When an accident happens to you and puts you out of work, not only does it put you in a tough financial situation, but you now must recover from your injuries too. However, you still must support yourself and your family, despite the mounting bills.

• Meet Legal Requirements: There are many legal requirements for filing a workers’ compensation claim. You must prove your injury is work-related, meet specific deadlines, and see approved doctors. Our lawyer will help you gather all legal documents and paperwork that prove your injuries are work-related and meet all deadlines.
• Negotiations: Negotiating your settlement with the insurance company can be tense. They will try to avoid paying you what you deserve and take advantage of your lack of legal prowess. Our injury lawyer knows the laws well and will ensure you are being compensated fairly.
  
• Seeking Proper Benefits: There are a lot of different things you can be compensated for outside the injury you sustained. Potential compensation factors include lost wages, medical bills, physical therapy, emotional stress, and more. Our attorneys will help determine what benefits you qualify for.
  
• Filing Appeals: If you lose your case initially, you can file an appeal. It is a complicated process, and you must show why you believe the result was incorrect. Our personal injury attorney will assist you with filing an appeal should you lose your initial case.
