What is Workers Compensation?
These are benefits and rights available to an employee when they are injured on the job where the employee may be entitled to $4,650 per month in wage replacement benefits as well as medical cost benefits.
We represent workers with ALL types of work related injuries. Not all on-the-job injuries happen at one moment in time as with slips and falls, crush injuries, cuts, punctures, broken limbs or in some cases even accidents in a vehicle going to and from work. Sometimes an injury can occur slowly over the course of several days, weeks, months or years such as with carpel tunnel syndrome or many other types of repetitive motion injuries. These develop for employees who have work that ranges from office jobs with typing, sitting, and filing, to factory work assembling equipment, moving boxes, driving heavy equipment and sorting merchandise. Our firm has the skill and expertise needed to guide you through the Workers’ Compensation process to get the best possible result for your case.
