Why You Need a Workers' Compensation Attorney

 When someone is injured in a workplace accident, employers and insurance carriers look for every
possible way to deny or minimize the legitimate claims of an injured worker. With the passage of
the SB 899 Workers’ Compensation Reform Act, protecting the rights of injured workers has
become even more difficult.

                        •        Were you injured at work?
           •        Do you need medical treatment for back or neck injuries?
            •        Do you need physical therapy to completely recover from your injuries?
            •        Do you suffer from repetitive stress injuries, such as carpal tunnel?
            •        Are you a victim of wrongful termination because of a job injury?

 The workers’ compensation insurance carrier and your employer want your injury to cost them as
little as possible in terms of both money for medical treatment and time away from work.

It is important to remember that the insurance company handling your claim is not YOUR
insurance company. It is your EMPLOYER'S insurance company. Thus, the "claims adjuster"
working on your case (who is an insurance company employee) has one goal: to pay out the least
amount of money possible, and to provide the cheapest medical care possible. That is why the
insurance company will often insist that you see one of its doctors (a doctor the insurance
company knows will write a bad report for you and thus save the insurance company money). If
the "claims adjuster" can find a way to "deny" your claim altogether in order to pay you nothing,
he or she will do so - no matter how badly you are injured.

It is our job to make sure you get the medical treatment you deserve and the recovery time you
need. At our workers’ compensation law firm, we focus on your needs, your injuries and your
