Practice Areas: Workers'
Compensation
Injuries sustained at work are common and often
have life long effects. As with any injury, there is uncertainty
about the injured person's future health and earnings potential.
Workers' Compensation provides significant protection for employees,
but the law is complicated and often employees do not receive the
benefits due to them.
Workers' compensation provides employees with multiple
benefits: medical treatment up to & including surgery where
indicated, money while unable to work, & monetary benefits for
permanent injuries. Along the way, decision regarding medical care,
job offers and suitable work-place accommodations can impact each
employee's ultimate recovery and their ability to move on with their
life following their recovery.
Additionally, if the severity of the injury makes
it impossible to return to the old job, we can make certain that
vocational rehabilitation benefits are provided as well.
