Workers’ Compensation

 

Workers’ Compensation that Works for You

If you were hurt on the job, you should notify your employer within 24 hours to begin the claims process, which starts with these three steps:

  1. The initial phase of your claim will involve investigating the nature and extent of your injury to confirm it is work-related and to determine whether the resulting disability is partial or total and temporary or permanent. 

  2. The insurer will assign a medical examiner to evaluate your physical status and to provide a medical opinion regarding the nature and extent of your injury. 

  3. If the parties disagree about the medical examiner’s conclusions, there is a process by which you can seek additional evaluations.

Although this seems like a straightforward process, workers’ compensation laws are complicated at times. Our office will provide you with dedicated and personalized legal counsel, assisting you with everything from the initial filing process to any appeals that may be needed.

Let’s work together to reduce stress and advocate for your right to compensation.
