Don't wait to get the help you deserve. A 5-minute phone can make all the difference.
If you've been injured at work, don't wait to get the help you deserve. A member of our legal team will promptly reach out.
You're not required to have an attorney, and many minor claims resolve without one. But if your injury involves surgery, lasting restrictions, a denied or disputed claim, or if your employer's insurance company is pushing back on treatment or benefits, an attorney can make sure you're not settling for less than your case is worth. A free consultation can help you figure out which situation you're in.
Employers and their insurers sometimes dispute claims over questions like whether the injury happened on the job, whether a pre-existing condition is involved, or whether you reported it in time. A denial isn't the end of the road. You can appeal, and an attorney can help gather medical records, witness statements, and other evidence to challenge the denial.
Depending on your state and the severity of your injury, you may be entitled to coverage of medical treatment, a portion of your lost wages while you're out of work (often called TTD, or temporary total disability), and compensation for any permanent impairment once you reach maximum medical improvement. An attorney can walk you through what applies to your specific situation.
Most workers' comp attorneys, including our firm, work on contingency - meaning there's no upfront cost, and we only get paid a percentage of your settlement if we win your case. This lets injured workers get experienced representation without worrying about legal bills while they're already dealing with lost income.
Each state has their own reporting and filing windows, and missing them can jeopardize your claim. As a general rule, it's best to report the injury to your employer immediately and speak with an attorney as soon as possible so nothing falls through the cracks.
