Injured at work? Report your injury immediately to your supervisor or employer. Seek medical care and clearly explain your injury to the doctor. Contact our offices to schedule your free initial consultation to learn about and protect your rights.
Our attorneys have significant experience assisting construction workers, laborers, office workers and others who have been injured on the job or have developed a work-related disability. We press for maximum workers' compensation benefits in a timely fashion. The Department of Industrial Accidents (DIA) handles workers' compensation claims. The DIA will either approve or deny claims for lost wages and medical treatment. Our firm can ensure your application for benefits fully explains your need for benefits.
Schneiders & Schneiders can handle your initial application for benefits and any appeals resulting from a denial. We can answer your questions and guide you through this process. Common questions include:
- Can I see my own doctor? Yes, you can see a doctor that you choose. Some employers may require that you have an initial consultation with a doctor chosen by their insurance company, but you still have the right to an independent opinion.
- What is the amount of benefits I will receive? Generally, injured workers receive 60% of their gross average weekly wage.
- My spouse passed away due to a work injury. Am I entitled to compensation? Our firm handles these emotional wrongful death matters with great care. As a surviving spouse, you are entitled to 250 weeks of workers' compensation pay.
