Why You Need an Attorney After a Workplace Injury

✔ File a workers’ compensation claim and fight for full benefits.
✔ Determine if you have a third-party lawsuit against a negligent party.
✔ Appeal a denied claim and challenge unfair decisions.
✔ Seek compensation for pain and suffering if additional claims apply.

Workers’ Compensation vs. Third-Party Lawsuits

- Third-Party Lawsuit: If someone other than your employer caused your injury (e.g., equipment manufacturer, contractor, or driver), you may file a lawsuit for additional damages.

Many employers and insurance companies try to deny claims. Our attorneys can gather medical evidence and witness testimony to prove your case.

Workers’ compensation claims must be filed within strict deadlines (often 30 days for reporting and 2-3 years for filing). It’s best to contact an attorney ASAP.
