Workers Compensation Law
Making Insurance Companies Pay
Workers Compensation laws protect your employer, not you.
Doing the right thing is not often cost-effective. This is why many employers and workers’ compensation insurance companies are more worried about their own bottom lines than they are about injured employees. Many injured workers never get the medical benefits or replacement income they need after suffering a work injury.
It comes as a shock when employers fail to do the right thing and deny workers’ compensation claims, and it can be devastating when a workers’ compensation insurance company refuses to fully cover your injury. Will you be able to make ends meet? How will you pay for your medical bills?
If you are hurt on the job, in almost all cases, your employer (or your employer’s workers’ compensation insurer) has to pay the medical bills for the injury and has to provide you with an income benefit until you are able to get back to work. The workers’ compensation process can be extensive and complicated. Missing deadlines can cause your claim to be invalid and keep you from receiving any benefits. The sooner you get an attorney involved, the better your chances of getting what you are entitled to get, and what you need.

Back and Spine Injuries
Back and spine injuries are among the most common and most debilitating injuries in the workplace. These injuries may be the result of unavoidable accidents, dangerous working environments, inadequate training, or faulty machinery. However, under workers’ compensation, employees are not required to prove the reason that their injury occurred, as workers’ compensation is a no-fault system that compensates injured workers without regard to negligence or fault. The process of getting access to these benefits can be complex and often confusing on top of physically being disabled and unable to work. Act quickly, and get an experienced trial lawyer to help walk you through the steps to recovery and compensation.
