Desafios comuns que os nossos clientes enfrentam — e como ajudamos.
Your workers' comp claim was denied and you don't know why?
Insurance companies deny valid claims every day hoping workers will give up. Common denial reasons like pre-existing conditions or missed deadlines often have strong legal counterarguments.
The insurance company wants you to go back to work before you're ready?
Insurers pressure injured workers to return early to reduce their costs. Your treating doctor — not the insurance company — determines when you're medically able to work.
Offered a settlement and not sure if it's fair?
Workers' comp settlements are final. Accepting too little means you cover future medical costs out of pocket. An attorney evaluates the true value including future medical needs and lost earning capacity.
Afraid your employer will fire you for filing a claim?
Employer retaliation against injured workers is illegal. If you've been terminated, demoted, or threatened after filing a workers' comp claim, you have additional legal remedies available.
Dealing with a pre-existing condition that the insurer is using to deny your claim?
Workers' comp covers the aggravation or worsening of pre-existing conditions caused by work activities. The fact that you had a prior issue doesn't automatically bar your claim.
Perguntas Frequentes
Tem perguntas? Temos respostas.
How much does a workers' comp attorney cost?
Workers' compensation attorneys work on contingency, typically receiving 15-25% of your settlement or award. You pay nothing upfront and nothing if you don't recover benefits.
Can I choose my own doctor for a work injury?
This varies by state. Some states allow you to choose your doctor from the start, others require you to see an employer-designated physician first. In most states, you can request a change of physician if you're unhappy with your assigned doctor.
What if my employer doesn't have workers' compensation insurance?
Uninsured employers face penalties and you may be able to file a civil lawsuit directly against them — which can actually result in greater compensation since civil claims include pain and suffering damages that workers' comp does not.
How long do I have to report a workplace injury?
Most states require reporting within 30-90 days of the injury or discovery of an occupational disease. However, reporting immediately strengthens your claim and ensures timely access to medical treatment.
Can I receive workers' comp for a repetitive stress injury?
Yes. Repetitive stress injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome, back injuries from lifting, and tendinitis from repetitive motions are compensable work injuries. The key is demonstrating the connection between your work duties and the condition.
O Que Dizem os Nossos Clientes
Não acredite apenas na nossa palavra — ouça os nossos clientes satisfeitos.
“My claim was denied three times before I hired an attorney. He got it approved on appeal and I received all my back benefits.”
William Williams
“The insurance company offered me $12,000. My attorney negotiated $67,000 plus future medical coverage. I'm so glad I didn't settle early.”
Amanda Brown
“After I filed my claim, my employer cut my hours to nothing. My attorney filed a retaliation complaint and I was made whole.”
Thomas Jones
“They got my surgery approved after the insurance company denied it twice. I finally got the treatment I needed and I'm back to work.”
Jessica Garcia
“I didn't know repetitive stress injuries were covered. They filed my claim for carpal tunnel and I received full benefits while I recovered.”
