AN EXPERIANCED WORKERS COMPENSATION ATTORNEY CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD
An experienced Workers Compensation Attorney will have experience dealing with Employers, their insurance companies, doctors and specialists of many different fields of medicine, physical therapists, vocational experts and other professionals within the field of Workers Compensation Law. Also an experienced Workers Compensation Attorney can counsel you throughout the Workers Compensation Claim Process and can assist you to obtain the maximum benefit from your medical treatment and obtain the maximum Compensation that you deserve.
We have handled numerous Workers Compensation Cases over the last 17 years and we always make sure that the Workers Compensation Insurance Carrier provides our clients with competent and appropriate medical treatment for the injuries they have sustained. If the Workers Compensation Insurance Carrier is not providing the appropriate treatment or may be denying treatment to our client completely we utilize the long list of doctors we have worked with to make sure that you see a doctor who is going to give you the appropriate medical treatment you deserve. Making sure that the client receives the appropriate medical treatment and maximizes his/her recovery from their injuries is our initial goal. Once your treatment had been concluded and you have reached maximum medical recovery we work with our doctors to obtain a doctors rating. The rating we obtain will be the most fair and credible rating that will ensure that we obtain for you the highest level of Compensation that you are entitled to receive.
We have obtained two prior Permanent Total Disability Awards after Trial as well as countless other awards and settlements for our clients involving various parts of the body including the cervical spine injuries, thoracic spine injuries, lumbar spine injuries, shoulder injuries, elbow injuries, wrist injuries, hand injuries, finger injuries, hip injuries, knee injuries, ankle injuries, foot injuries, stroke patients, hearing injuries and eyesight injuries.

Permanent Total Disability Award for NurseWe also obtained a Permanent Total Disability Award for a Nurse who was injured on the job while she was attempting to lift and turn a patient in a Nursing Home. She had sustained minor injuries to her back several times over her 10 plus years working for a Nursing Home however, none of them were serious enough to cause her to miss any substantial amount of time from work in the past. She continued to work after this injury and was released from care by the Employers medical doctors. She was not happy with her first attorney and she hired us to follow through on her claim. We sent her to one of our doctors who diagnosed her with a herniated disc at L4-L5 and stated he believed that she was unable to work and was in need of further medical treatment. By obtaining this doctors opinion, we forced the Employers Workers Compensation Insurance Carrier to send her back to another doctor for re-examination. The new Employer Orthopedic Surgeon determined that she was in need of further medical treatment and actually agreed with our doctor. Thereafter, she went through a two level lumbar disc fusion surgery then and went through a slow process of physical therapy, work hardening and recovery over the following year. The Employers doctor rated her at 20% Permanent Partial Disability. We sent her to another doctor of ours to obtain a rating who gave an opinion that she was Permanently and Totally Disabled due to her injuries, or in other words, was 100% disabled. After her trial in the matter, the Administrative Law Judge found in our favor and Awarded our client a Permanent Total Disability Award including the payment of a Permanent Partial Disability Lump Sum Payment, all past medical bills, payment for all future medical treatment as well as weekly payments for the rest of her life in the amount of $350.00.
