We Are Prepared To Help You Through It All
The workers’ compensation system was established to minimize disputes between employers and employees by capping damages and preventing liability disputes. That means you can recover, even if the accident was your fault.
We can help with on-the-job accidents and injuries like:
- Auto accidents
- Knee, back and shoulder injuries
- Head injuries
- Repetitive stress disorder (carpal tunnel syndrome)
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Hand and limb injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
Collect Medical Documentation And Preserve Evidence
As your law firm, we will initiate an immediate investigation to collect and preserve relevant evidence for your claim. Our lawyers also contact witnesses, collect hospital records or accident reports, and consult with experts when necessary. It is imperative to preserve evidence to effectively prove your case in negotiations or in court.
Third-Party Claims For Work-Related Injuries
Unfortunately, workers’ comp does not always give the full benefits a victim needs or deserves.
In addition to collecting workers’ compensation, you may be able to recover additional damages through third-party claims. While you cannot sue your employer, there may be parties that can be held accountable for your injuries, including subcontractors, property owners, parts or equipment manufacturers, or vehicle operators. I will take the time to evaluate your case and identify all responsible parties. With a good strategy and a dedication to results, I can recover the compensation you deserve.
