Worker’s Compensation

Hiring a Workers’ Compensation Attorney

Some of the most serious and challenging injuries are those that happen at work.  Not only do they result in time away from your job, but they also create uncertainty as to whether your position will be there when you recover.  And that doesn’t even start to address the complicated process of obtaining work comp benefits, quality medical treatment, and a plan for future issues that may arise with respect to care and employment.  Fortunately, you have come to the right place for help and to learn about your options.  The team at Attorney Client Match is ready to make sure you receive a fair and just result in your workers’ compensation case.

How an Experienced Work Injury Attorney Can Help

In a perfect world, the State and employers would work to efficiently resolve the many issues which arise after employees are injured on the job.  They would have a clear and simple plan for obtaining medical treatment, replacing wages during missed work, and anticipating and addressing future issues such as on-the-job accommodations and additional medical care.  Unfortunately, that does not always happen.  More often than not, employers are unprepared for a serious workplace injury.  And the administrative departments at each State that handle workers’ comp cases are routinely overwhelmed with the number of claims.

Because of the complexities and challenges associated with making sure employees are treated fairly after an on-the-job injury, private attorneys have stepped up to represent clients in these important matters.  And that is exactly what we do here at Attorney Client Match.  Our legal team is completely dedicated to ensuring our clients:

• Comply with all requirements regarding notification, paperwork, medical treatment, and other key components of the workers’ compensation process.
• Receive exceptional medical treatment to ensure the best opportunity for a full recovery.
• Obtain financial compensation for all damages arising from the workplace accident.
• Have accommodations put in place to make their employment possible after the injury.
• Achieve other goals, such as pushing the employer to put in place safety mechanisms and procedures to reduce the potential for future injuries.

Simply stated, you do not want to face the workers’ compensation system alone.  And you don’t have to.  Experienced and proven attorneys are available to help you navigate this process and put a plan in place for recovering and returning to work.  Furthermore, you pay nothing for our legal representation unless we successfully resolve your case.  That means your consultation is free.  All the work we do on your behalf is provided at no out-of-pocket charge to you.  We are only paid out of the funds we recover on your behalf, and the amount is a relatively small portion of the proceeds.

Types of Workers’ Comp Claims We Handle

While there are literally hundreds of different types of work injuries, most fall into three main categories:

• Sudden accidents. Examples include falls, vehicle collisions, equipment injuries, acute poisoning, and many more.
• Repetitive use injuries. These types of claims arise from an activity a worker does repeatedly, such as typing or working on an assembly line.
• Injuries developed over time. These types of injuries are often caused by hazardous conditions which cause harm after a longer period of time.  One example is exposure to toxins in the air, such as ammonia in a print shop.

Next Steps After a Work Injury

There are really two things to do as soon as possible after a work-related injury.  First, get medical treatment… and continue treatment until you have fully recovered.  Second, talk with an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer.  The Attorney Client Match team will discuss your matter with you for free, with no obligation on your part to do anything at all.  In addition, all information you share with the lawyers to whom we refer you is confidential whether you decide to hire that attorney or not.  If you do not need an attorney, the attorney to whom we refer you will tell you.  If you do, you will be matched with a top-tier team of professionals to ensure your rights are protected.  But please do not delay.  Timing is incredibly important in work injury litigation.
