Helping Injured Workers Obtain Workers' Compensation Benefits

If you have been injured at work, it is important to report the injury to your employer in writing. It is also important to seek legal help from an attorney who will protect your rights. Insurance companies often question the severity of injuries and may try to downplay the impact the injuries have on your ability to work. Our firm helps workers who suffer from injuries such as the following:

• Neck and back injuries
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Complex regional pain syndrome (also known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy)
• Shoulder impingement syndrome
• Soft tissue injuries
• Stress and/or depression
• Post-traumatic stress disorder
