About Workers' Comp »

A workplace injury or occupational disease can ruin your quality of life. Your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance should cover medical expenses, lost earnings, and rehabilitation.

Wrongful Death »

Nothing can replace the loss of a loved one. Life will never be the same. When a member of your family is killed in an accident, choosing the right wrongful death attorney is vital.

Heart Attacks & Strokes »

Heart attacks or strokes can happen any time and with no warning. Often, it is difficult to identify the factors that helped induce a heart attack or stroke until long afterwards.

Neck & Back »

A serious neck or back injury is a painful, debilitating problem that can challenge you for the rest of your life. Our neck and back injury lawyer specialists know that neck, spine, disc, and back injuries require long-term care and support.

Amputation or Crush »

Have you suffered a crushing injury or even a work-related amputation? Machine operators are vital to the economy, but these jobs bring a special risk of catastrophic injury and death.

Asbestos Exposure »

Asbestos was once considered a miracle material used in almost every type of construction and in many industries. Sadly, we now know it is one of the most dangerous toxins found in the workplace.

Joint and Ligament »

A debilitating injury is not always caused by a catastrophic accident. Sometimes disabling injuries develop slowly, but lead to painful or life-threatening conditions.

Carpal Tunnel »

Workers' compensation is not just for traumatic injuries. Some injuries develop over time through the repetition of physical tasks.

Eye and Ear »

Injuries to eyes and ears are common and debilitating for millions of workers. Musicians cannot play, machinists can’t use their machines, and artisans can no longer craft their work.

Chemical Exposure »

Dangerous chemicals and elements are vital to many industries. Chemicals on the job poison and injure thousands of workers a year.
