The Types of Workplace Injuries We Handle

We aggressively protect the rights of people who have been hurt on the job, helping you recover workers' compensation benefits for all types of injuries, including:

  • Back injuries, whether caused by sudden trauma or repetitive stress
  • Head, neck and shoulder injuries
  • Aggravation of an existing injury — we work with your doctors to determine if work-related activity or conditions aggravated or accelerated your disability
  • Cumulative or repetitive stress injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Psychiatric illness, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depression, that is linked to a physical injury
  • Cardiac illness or injury that is tied to a specific activity
  • Brain damage or traumatic brain injury (TBI) that results in cognitive impairment
  • Hernia
  • Hearing loss

We handle claims involving amputation or loss of use of a limb, including fingers, toes, arms and legs. The workers' compensation statutes make a distinction between loss of use and loss of the entire limb. We understand these distinctions and can help you recover the maximum amount for your loss.

We also handle claims involving disfigurement, where you may not have lost any time at work, but nonetheless face a lifetime of scarring.
