Representing A Range Of Clients With A Variety Of Injuries
We handle all types of on-the-job injuries, including:

- Occupational diseases
- Fatalities at the workplace
Certain types of injuries are common in particular occupations; for example:
- Workers in factories and repair facilities often suffer from hearing loss attributed to loud work environments.
- Welders often suffer burn injuries and respiratory disorders.
- Back injuries are common for workers who frequently lift heavy loads.
- Some office workers and manufacturing workers are prone to carpal tunnel syndrome through repetitive motion of wrists and elbows.
Any medical condition caused by activities on the job, requiring treatment and time off work, may make a worker eligible for workers’ compensation benefits.

Third-Party Liability Claims: Personal Injury And Wrongful Death.
Workers’ compensation claims do not require evidence that an employer was negligent. In every workers’ compensation case, we review the facts to determine whether there is also a viable third-party claim against a negligent party other than your employer or your family member’s employer. If so, our firm can handle your personal injury or wrongful death claim or lawsuit in addition to your workers’ compensation case.
If your injury or any medical condition will leave you unable to work for a year or longer, we can advise you on how to claim Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits, as well.
