Our experienced workplace accident lawyer takes on Big Insurance to help you seek the full amount to which you are entitled. We know the insurers’ tactics and we match them with tenacity and dedication –we fight for you!

“Delay and deny” are common insurer responses to injured employees who are trying to secure a settlement. Let an attorney talk to the insurance company for you to help you seek the full amount possible in your case.

Without proper workplace accident compensation, you could be stuck with:

• Medical bills for latent injuries caused by an accident on the job – bills your workers comp may not cover
• Pain and suffering caused by the lingering effects of injuries
• Mounting bills because of a disability
• Job loss, in certain types of companies

More than 31,000 people suffer from on-the-job injuries and illnesses every year. An employer’s insurance is required to pay for acute medical care and lost wages, but they only take it so far.

To file a workplace accident claim, a victim must file a claim. In most cases the injury has to be:

• Suffered on the job
• Accidental

If your employer does not contest it, it is handled through your employer’s insurance company and you are entitled to receive wages and medical costs.

Let a workplace accident attorney step in to negotiate. Business insurance firms are businesses themselves, and are interested in making a profit – not paying out. They try to limit compensation. This may become important to you because the full extent of some injuries may not show up for weeks, months or even years after they are initially treated. Once a claim is done, the case is closed. How will you pay for related medical bills that crop up later?

In cases where a claim is denied, or you are disciplined by your employer for reporting your injury, you need aggressive and skillful legal assistance. An attorney who works with you from the beginning can help secure your rights in these cases.

If a workplace accident was the result of an intentional action – meaning the employer knowingly harmed you, or was aware of wrongdoing that resulted in injury or illness – then it is your right to file a lawsuit to collect damages. For this, you would have to prove the injury or illness was caused by your company’s negligence or malfeasance.

Attorney David E. Gordon is board certified to handle cases that go to trial. Our firm has helped many clients win just fair settlements, as well as damages in cases of willful wrongdoing.
