We Will Work to Get Maximum Compensation for Your Case

It’s important to know that the government imposes limits on how much you can receive in workers’ compensation. You can’t recover benefits for things like pain and suffering, lowered quality of life or changes to your home that may be necessary if your injury caused a disability. However, if you were injured by someone who doesn’t work for the same company (like a reckless driver if you were in an auto accident on the job), then you can file a normal personal injury lawsuit against that person or company called “third party litigation.”

What Does a Workers’ Compensation Claim Cover?

Workers’ compensation benefits cover various aspects of your injury. This may include:


  • Medical costs
  • Lost wages
  • Retraining on the job and vocational rehabilitation (when relevant)
  • Settlements for permanent partial disabilities
  • Long-term disability benefits (if you are permanently impaired)
