Workers’ Compensation Claims and Appeals

In our workers’ compensation practice, we represent workers from all industries who have suffered injuries on the job. We offer intelligent and aggressive advocacy from the moment of first application through the receipt of benefits, throughout conflict over returning to work, and for lump-sum payouts. Our attorneys have won successful results for injured workers with traditionally “difficult” workplace injuries, including:

Head and brain injuries
Back and neck injuries
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) — Also called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), it may cause osteoporosis, muscle wasting or even amputation among other serious complications.
Shoulder and elbow injuries
Knee, ankle and foot injuries
Hand and wrist injuries
Carpal tunnel syndrome, which may lead to permanent nerve damage and disability

In some circumstances, an injured worker may have the right to file a private workplace injury lawsuit in addition to receiving funds from the workers’ compensation system. In legal terms, these cases are known as third-party lawsuits.

Our attorneys’ joint focus on workers’ compensation and personal injury law makes us especially qualified to handle such cases, which often occur in the context of construction accident claims.

Injuries and Accidents: Insurance Negotiations and Civil Lawsuits

Outside the workplace, personal injury laws and the practicalities of insurance coverage dictate the amount of financial compensation an injury victim is likely to receive.

In every personal injury case, our goal is to maximize the settlement or jury award our client receives. We represent the victims of all types of accidents caused by another person’s carelessness or recklessness:

Car accident claims
Truck accident claims
Motorcycle accident claims
Boating accident claims
Bicycle and pedestrian accident claims
Tour bus and casino bus accidents
Injuries caused by unsafe products
Injuries and falls caused by unsafe conditions on private property
Dog bites and animal attacks

When accidents are fatal, we work with surviving family members to file wrongful death claims to force the responsible party to make payment to the estate of the deceased person.
