Hurt on the job
You were hurt at work. Here is what happens now
Workers' compensation pays for your medical care and part of your lost pay, whoever was at fault. It also comes with forms, deadlines and an insurance adjuster who isn't on your side.
Most injured workers never wanted a lawyer. They wanted to see a doctor and get a check. We step in when the paperwork, the adjuster or the employer gets in the way, and we explain each step before it happens.
Not sure the injury counts? Maybe it came on slowly, happened off site, or you were a temp. Call anyway. Plenty of people start the call with "I don't think I qualify."
Do these first
Tell your supervisor in writing
Ask for the claim form
See a doctor and say it happened at work
Keep every paper, photo and text message
How we help from day one
Report and paperwork
We check that the notice and the claim form were filed correctly and on time.
Medical care
We push for the visits, tests and treatment your injury needs, and for the bills to be paid.
Your checks
If wage checks are late, short or stopped, we find out why and ask for what's owed.
Going back to work
We read light-duty offers and work notes with you before you say yes.
Questions we hear first
Do I need a lawyer for a small injury?
Not always. If your claim is accepted, your care is covered and your checks arrive on time, you may be fine on your own. Call us if anything slips, or if the injury turns out worse than it first looked.
My boss says this isn't a workers' comp case. Is that final?
No. Your employer and its insurer decide first, but the state board or a judge can decide differently. Ask for the decision in writing.
Can I choose my own doctor?
The rules differ by state. In many states your employer gives you a list or panel to choose from. Ask us before you switch doctors, because the wrong move can leave a visit unpaid.
