Representing People Injured On the Job Since 1996
When you suffer a work-related injury, the effects can be long-lasting, even permanent. Navigating the workers' compensation process can be frustrating, as you deal with nonresponsive employer or insurance company and receive a disability rating that might be significantly less than what your actual injuries merit.
To get the benefits to which you entitled, make sure you have a experienced legal team in your corner. With over 10 years of experience helping people with their workers' compensation claims, the Stephenson Law Office, LLC, has the knowledge and skill it takes to successfully advocate on your behalf. Contact us today.
After a Work-Related Injury
If you are injured on the job, don't let your employer and insurance company take advantage of you. You have a right to medical treatment, disability benefits and compensation for your loss. The insurance company has attorneys defending against your workers' compensation claim. Who will you have on your side, protecting your interests?
Whether carpel tunnel syndrome, a back, shoulder or neck injury, or any other kind of work-related injury, you are entitled to temporary disability benefits and medical treatment until you reach maximum medical improvement (MMI). At that point, you will receive a permanent disability rating. Often, the rating may be too low and not reflective of your actual impairment.
How We Can Help You
We will deal with the insurance company for you. Once you reach MMI, we will negotiate a settlement with the insurance company, or contest the disability rating where appropriate. If the settlement offer is not satisfactory, we are more than prepared to try your case before an administrative law judge.
We will take steps to assure you get the medical treatment you need, whether by deposing your existing doctor, or sending you to an independent examiner for reevaluation. It is critical to keep all your doctor appointments, as failure to do so may jeopardize future treatment authorization by the insurance company.
Your employer's insurance company will want to settle your claim quickly and cheaply. Don't settle just because you feel like there is no other option. The workers' compensation system exists to help injured workers, and it is important that you get all the benefits to which you are entitled under the law.
We can help you get your life back on track. Contact us today for a free initial consultation. Our office is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday and other times are available by appointment. There is no fee unless we recover for you.
