Which On-the-Job Injury Claims Do We Handle?

Countless people across the country suffer injuries in the workplace each year, yet obtaining their rightful compensation can be a Herculean task. Victims of such incidents are often left struggling to piece together necessary knowledge and resources while employers or insurers try to dodge responsibility for damages they have caused.

Working with an experienced worker’s compensation attorney is essential when seeking just recompense from the impairment and disability. The key lies in having access to legal counsel that understands how best to utilize evidence on behalf of claimants as well as appeal decisions made against them if need be.

Consult a Workers Comp. Attorney Following a Workplace Injury

If you fall victim to on-the-job injuries or accidents, contact a legal professional. Following your injury, you must inform your employer and ensure they file an incident report.

It should include all the information, such as:

  • Where the accident occurred

  • Any witnesses to the accident

  • Date and time of the accident

  • What caused the accident

Following such incidents, you should prioritize seeking medical care. Seeking legal advice from an attorney ensures that employers don’t deny your claim and if they do, it puts you in a better position to appeal and obtain the benefits you deserve.

When Do You Need a Workers’ Comp. Lawyer?
