Protection for You

Workers’ compensation exists to help you financially when you’re hurt at work and are now Too Hurt To WorkTM.

So if you work, you’re covered.

Or you should be.

Your employer and their workers’ comp insurance company could be more concerned about saving money than providing all the benefits you’re entitled to receive.

They could disagree that you were hurt on the job, push you to see a company doctor or refuse to pay for treatment your doctor ordered.

An experienced workers’ comp lawyer can keep your claim on track.

I met Craig recently to discuss my workers’ compensation case. I was impressed with the way his staff handled me upon arrival. Everyone seemed very friendly and even happy to be at work.

Benefits You Can Receive

Workers’ comp benefits come in three major forms:

  • Medical care for your injury
  • Weekly checks to replace some of your lost wages
  • Services to help you find another job

You should never have to pay anything for medical treatment.

Those payments for lost wages, called indemnity benefits, come in several categories depending on the severity of your injury. They can last a short time or a long time.

And you should be careful about job reorientation services, called vocational rehabilitation, because it can be an excuse to push you off workers’ comp.
