In some instances, regardless of the nature of your injury or the amount of your medical bills and lost income, you will want to hire a lawyer or law firm because an insurance company or government agency simply refuses to make a fair settlement offer. In these cases, something—what lawyers can get minus the fee charged to get it—is better than nothing.

Workers are entitled to compensation for work-related injury or illness, regardless of fault or negligence. Workers’ Compensation claims pay for medical treatment and medication.

Many claims must be made within a short period of time, otherwise the injured person will be forever prevented from seeking workman’s compensation.
