When this is the case, whether you've had a chemical exposure or a car accident injury or a truck accident injury, you deserve answers and compensation to help deter the progression of hearing or vision loss further or to find solutions that make coping with the loss of either, more comfortable.

Stress

Stress can often be the result of a toxic work environment, workplace violence, or trauma experienced in the workplace. You may be entitled to a workers compensation claim if your ongoing stress was not present before the job, but is instead a result of problems within the job, the job's expectations, or your workplace environment. Determining the stress can be done by a medical professional who can attest that your stress, and any psychiatric stress associated, was not present in other settings before your job, only those related to the job itself.

Pre-Existing Condition

A pre-existing condition is usually classified as a chronic or long-term condition of some sort that has gradually worsened or become aggravated with the job you’re currently in. The same can also be true if you have a pre-existing condition and are the victim of a personal injury due to negligence or care for your pre-existing condition. Depending on the case itself, we’ll work with you to determine what legal measures can be taken and what compensation you deserve in return.

More Practice Areas

​Denied Claims / Delayed Claims
There are many reasons why your claim could have been denied. 

One reason could be that your application was late. It is recommended that you file your claim within 30 days of the incident but there are circumstances that an attorney can go over with you that would extend that 30 day window.

Another reason could be that your employer could claim that you did something to contribute to your own injury. This is a subjective point and should be reviewed in detail by legal professionals.

Other reasons include a lack of witnesses or lack of medical records. Make sure to take action right away by seeing a medical professional and gather all of the information you need in order to get the legal results you feel you're entitled to.

​Knee, Ankle, Foot Injury
The first thing you should do after an injury to the knee, ankle or foot is seek medical attention. This will help prevent worsening of the condition and will also provide evidence for your attorney when working to strengthen your work comp claim.
Other things you should to to strengthen your case is take photographs, write down witnesses & their contact information, and keep all of your medical records and bills.

After you seek medical attention, get the insurance information from your employer and contact an attorney immediately to get the compensation process initiated. Working with an attorney will help your chances in receiving the coverage you deserve.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
It may surprise you that Carpal Tunnel is a legitimate injury that which when incurred on the job, could qualify a workers compensation claim.

The benefits to a claim of this sort could include reimbursement for medical expenses, out-of-pocket expenses and potentially a significant amount of lost wages.

Symptoms of CT could take months to years to surface. once you start feeling the symptoms, take note of the date to include in your claim.

Symptoms often include acute or chronic pain, tingling, numbness, burning, or prickling sensations. As a result, you may find certain tasks challenging like gripping, holding tools, using a computer mouse, typing, or other similar tasks.

Overexertion
The second leading cause of injury in the workplace is overexertion. Working yourself too hard may seem beneficial in the short-term but could put you out of work for the long term.

Things that cause injury as a result of overexertion are lifting or pushing heavy objects, pulling, holding, or carrying objects.
These types of injuries could be very expensive to deal with. Costs like medical bills or physical therapy are bills that you may be entitled to have reimbursed.

It is very important to make a detailed description of the incident and how overexertion contributed to the injury. Make sure to talk with a medical professional and then speak with an attorney to go over your incident and review what you may be entitled to.

Workplace Violence
The most common injuries at work are things like slipping and falling, falling objects or repetitive movements that lead to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Well, sometimes an injury could be the result of a co-worker or outsider committing an act of violence towards you that causes severe injury, emotional distress or even a fatality.

In most cases, when two workers get in a physical altercation and there are medical expenses as a result, compensation insurance should cover the treatment & recovery including lost wages as a result of the incident.

Sometimes, the injury isn't inflicted by a co-worker, rather a more personal attack. Something like a man walking into a workplace and attacking his girlfriend who is an employee. Insurance may claim that the incident was not work related but in some cases, it can be argued that the employer had the duty of keep his/her employees safe. 

Speak with a professional in order to get a proper assessment of you incident.

Chemical Exposure
Whether or not you qualify for workmans compensation benefits, you claim begins with proving several factors.

You have to identify the substance you were exposed to that caused you illness or injury. This could require a medical evaluation.

You should also identify where the chemical originated, which may not be easy. Some of these conditions that are the result of chemical exposure take years to surface which leaves some people scrambling through their work history in order to identify the specific chemical. It is important to start this process of identification as soon as you are experiencing symptoms or diagnosed by a medical professional.

Establishing this body of evidence will help you to collect workers’ compensation benefits from the employer at the time of your exposure.
