What I really appreciate about the work I do is that I get to help people who are going through a difficult time. No one is having a good day if they have to call an attorney—especially after getting hurt at work. I understand that, which is why I want to help people through these tough situations.
When someone is injured, they’re often worried about things like: How am I going to work? How am I going to provide for my family? Many people take pride in their jobs, and when they get hurt—through no fault of their own—they simply want to get better and get back to work.
Unfortunately, there are often roadblocks along the way. Sometimes a unique detail in the claim causes the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation to question it, or the employer may decide to fight the claim. Most of the time, the claim is perfectly legitimate, but employers may challenge it for a variety of reasons.
Some companies even fight claims to set an example for other employees. If a workplace gains a reputation for disputing claims, injured workers there might choose to file under their health insurance instead—knowing it could take months before they receive compensation or get their treatment approved.
