Workers' Compensation
Workers' compensation is used to help provide medical care and income to employees who cannot work due to a work-related injury. The damages you can recover may not be as extensive as with a personal injury claim for they are commonly limited to disability benefits and medical treatment expenses. However, there is no need to prove that your employer was negligent.

Hiring an attorney familiar with the workers' compensation system is essential because your employer (or the work comp. insurance carrier) has attorneys working to limit your benefits. You should have an attorney fighting for your rights so that you may receive the compensation you deserve.

If You Were Seriously Injured on the Job, We Can Help!

You may also have a claim against a "third party," such as the manufacturer of unsafe equipment, the owner of the premises where the injury occurred (if different from your employer), or against another company whose employee caused the injury.

These third party personal injury cases can be brought in addition to a workers' compensation case. Third party actions can include recovery for pain and suffering and future damages.
