Your Health Is Our Priority
Our firm has successfully represented many construction workers and employees in other industries who have suffered serious injuries in the workplace. In our experience, it is far better for an injured worker to get healthy again so that he or she can re-enter the workforce rather than go on disability. We make it our priority to help our clients get all of the workers' compensation benefits and medical care they need to recover to the fullest extent possible. In cases where our clients cannot return to their occupations, we try to get them vocational training that can enable them to rejoin the workforce in another productive capacity.
Do You Have a Third-Party Claim?
If your accident was caused by someone not employed by your company, such as a contractor, equipment supplier or vehicle driver, you have a third-party claim. In addition to workers' compensation benefits, you may also be able to obtain compensation for wage loss, pain and emotional suffering. This compensation could far exceed the value of the benefits you get from the workers' compensation system.
Heidi G. Chapman, P.L.L.C., has experience in cases involving both a workers' compensation and third-party claim. Because our firm handles both claims in house, we understand the potential pitfalls in combined claims and how to avoid making mistakes that could limit the total compensation paid. We will work to maximize the compensation you receive from all sources.
