Workers Compensation /Work-Related Injuries Attorneys

Unlike negligence cases, when a worker is hurt on the job, all they must prove is the extent of the injury and that it occurred during work. The employer or their insurance company is then responsible for paying medical expenses and a fixed percentage of lost salary or wages. In return for not having to prove that it was someone else’s fault, workers give up the right to sue their employers for pain, suffering and full economic loss.

Often times, the doctors or physical therapists chosen by the employer’s insurance company are under pressure to send employees back to work as soon as possible-often before they are ready or fully recovered. Sometimes employers will argue that the injury did not occur at work. In these cases you need a lawyer to represent you in proving the validity of your claim and have you evaluated by independent doctors.

Sometimes an investigation of the worker compensation injury leads to automobile accident claims against other drivers, product liability claims against the manufacturers of faulty machinery or equipment – even medical malpractice claims.
