  • How does workers compensation work?

    Workers compensation covers your medical expenses and wage loss when you're injured at work. Not every company offers workers compensation. For example, riverboat and railroad companies do not have this type of insurance. Instead, The Jones Act insures riverboat employees while the Federal Employers Liability Act covers railroad workers. Contact our workmans comp lawyers today to learn more.

  • What is the difference between workers compensation and The Jones Act and FELA?

    The main difference is unlimited recovery. Workers compensation only offers you a certain amount for your recovery whereas The Jones Act and FELA can compensate you for any amount. However, there are certain types of treatment that may not qualify. Our workmans comp lawyers can help you determine whether you are eligible.

  • What can I be compensated for?

    If our personal injury and workers comp lawyers successfully file your claim, you may be entitled to receive compensation for medical bills, treatment, wage loss, reduced earning capacity, and disability.

  • What should I do after being injured?

    Following an injury, you should reach out to one of our experienced personal injury and workers comp lawyers. By turning to our attorneys after the accident, you may have a better chance of securing full compensation for your injury.

  • Why do I need an attorney?

    While you're entitled to compensation for your workplace injury, your employer and its insurance company may not provide you with sufficient funds. Claims adjusters try to save their insurance company as much money as they can, which may prevent you from receiving proper payments. For this reason, you need highly effective lawyers to help you secure compensation. With a combined 120 years of experience in personal injury and workers compensation cases, we can help you strengthen your case.
