My Workers’ Compensation Practice

I represent men and women who have been injured on the job due to traumatic events, such as lifting injuries, twisting injuries, injuries from the use of tools or equipment, whether or not the equipment or tool is or was defective, falls of any kind, falling object accidents, vehicle accidents, repetitive stress or repetitive use injuries, heart attacks, or any other injuries sustained while you are at work.  For Worker’s Compensation, it does not matter whether someone else was at fault, you were at fault, or no one was at fault, so long as it was related to your work.  I will represent you throughout the workers’ compensation claims process or appeals for workers’ compensation denials (at any level).

I have decades of experience successfully handling workers’ compensation claims. I know that your employer or its insurance carrier will have attorneys working aggressively to represent their interests. I will do the same for you. I will aggressively fight to get you the compensation you need and deserve, whether it’s temporary or permanent disability benefits to ease the financial strain related to workplace injuries. There is always coverage under workers’ comp, however, under certain circumstances, we may be able to pursue a claim against a nonemployer responsible for your injury for greater compensation.

All workers’ compensation claims are handled on a contingency basis. I only charge attorney fees if I am able to recover benefits for you. My contingency fee is generally 20% of what I am able to recover for you.
