Our lawyers can help with your original workers' compensation claim and guide you through the process so that your claim is complete, helping you get a fair settlement from your employer's workers' comp insurance company.

Consult a Workers' Compensation Lawyer

There are several stages to the workers' compensation process. Immediately after your injury, your employer will require you to see a doctor that they choose. This doctor will give the workers' compensation insurance company an evaluation, and the workers' comp insurance company will award you compensation based on that doctor's opinions.

If the medical evaluation minimizes your injuries in any way, or if the doctor gives you an earlier return-to-work date than your own personal doctor, seek advice from a workers' compensation lawyer. One of our firm's seasoned lawyers will file a claim, or appeal, on your behalf with the Workers' Compensation Board, and will prepare for the hearing by gathering medical records and any necessary expert medical opinions.

Our lawyer will negotiate with the workers' comp insurance company's attorneys for a fair and reasonable settlement, but if necessary, will go forward with the hearing to get you the best possible settlement.
