Our Services
We're workers compensation attorneys and for most people that means claiming money after an accident but the truth is that there are many less obvious types of damage that are inflicted by problems in the workplace and if they're not your fault then then you are entitled to claim. In our long experience a lot of people believe they don't have a claim because of pre-existing conditions, or partial responsibility, or most common of all the simple nagging doubt that while something bad happened to them it wasn't really the responsibility of the workplace. Don't doubt. Don't feel helpless, don't think you can't do something about it. Our first service is always to talk to our clients and give them a truly honest assessment of their situation, their likely entitlement, and and their chances of compensation. So while the following represent some of the commonest issues we find our clients face, this is not an exhaustive list – there's so much more we offer. So no matter what your doubts, get in touch and we can start down the road of making your life better.
Head InjuryInjuries to the head are always serious not only because of the brain within but the importance of your face to your quality of life. We know that and have made that powerful case time and time again to ensure that clients who have had accidents at work get the compensation they deserve to get back to their best life.

Neck & Back InjuryAfter the brain the spinal column is the next most critically delicate part of your nerve structure and yet we take things like stiff necks, backache and 'stingers' for granted. Our advice is to take them seriously and talk to us about whether your work or employment contributed. Even an existing bad back can be a reason to claim if work conditions have contributed and for obvious issues like whiplash in work-related accidents it is important that someone argues your case about the full severity of the issue even if time has passed since the incident.
|
IllnessFrom exposure to hazardous particles to Sick Building Syndrome there are hundreds of ways that a workplace can contribute to illness. Proving it is not so simple however, so come talk to the experts about your condition and ways in which it has impacted your life and we will help you claim the compensation that will help you and your family cope.
|
Hearing or Vision LossExposure to loud noise or bright light is a hazard with long term implications. If your workplace failed to provide adequate protection then you are entitled to compensation that will at the least help pay for you to re-adjust to your reduced capability.
|
Sexual HarassmentEveryone has the right to work in an environment free from personal harassment and that includes sexual harassment. It doesn't have to be your boss that is the problem, your company or employer has the responsibility to manage workplace environments so that you are not exposed to demeaning or threatening behavior whether that's from colleagues or clients. If you're not sure about whether what you've suffered falls under the heading of sexual harassment then our advice is not to ignore it but to come and talk to us about it.
|
Lost WagesIf you've lost out because of illegal, inappropriate, or ill-judged actions by your employer then you may be liable to claim back lost wages even if the incident was some time ago. Unfair termination of a job or a contract, lost hours because of workplace injury, stress, or harassment – all of these count as lost wages that were not your fault and that means that you can claim back that money. If you're already stressed or suffering because of a problem or incident at work the last thing you need is to end up paying for it from your savings because you're not getting that pay packet. Talk to us and let's sort it out.

More Practice Areas
Hostile Work Environment
Any type of hostile work environment can be complicated to endure, but when things become physical, it can become nearly impossible to complete your day-to-day duties. Even worse, workplace violence can cause you to suffer severe harm and you may be unable to work for weeks, maybe even months. Whenever this happens, you may have the right to pursue workers’ compensation benefits or other legal remedies to cover the expenses you must endure after the act of violence. Our workers’ compensation attorney will work with you to help you understand your rights and make decisions that suit your needs. |
Knee, Ankle, Foot Injury
For many people who work on their feet all day, a knee, ankle, or foot injury can be debilitating. From a swollen foot to a fractured bone, and injury to your lower extremities can make it difficult to complete even the most routine action on your job. Because of this, you may be required to stay out of work for a long period of time, which means you miss out on vital income and other benefits you enjoy when you’re working. These situations have a remedy, though. Our workers’ compensation lawyer will analyze your situation to determine what options you have to recover benefits through your employer’s insurance provider. |
Overexertion
Overexertion is a condition you may experience if you regularly complete duties that fall outside your capabilities. For instance, if your physical health allows you to lift 20 pounds once or twice a day, but your employer has you lifting 50+ pounds many times each day, you may suffer from overexertion. Your employer must not only train you properly for all tasks, but he or she must also keep in mind your capabilities and limitations. Overexertion symptoms can leave you feeling fatigued, as well as cause you to suffer physical pain, such as a lower back injury. |
Strains & Sprains
A sprain may not seem like a big deal, but in many industries, it can be the cause of you missing work for many weeks. Even simple sprains can take weeks to heal. As for strains, these are often overlooked in the workplace. However, strains can also include severe conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, which many people require surgery to completely heal. In these situations when you must miss time from work to recover from your sprain or strain, you may pursue workers’ compensation benefits to help you recover your lost wages. |
Auto Accidents
Speeding, texting while driving, and drunk driving are all signs of negligence. Of course, there are other actions that drivers can take that could put you at risk of danger. However, any time someone causes you to suffer injuries in a car accident, they are responsible for the expenses you experience, including medical bills, lost wages, physical therapy, property damage, and pain and suffering. If you need a car accident lawyer, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’ll help you prove liability and seek compensation from the insurance company. |
Slip & Fall Accident
Slip and fall accidents can happen for a number of reasons. A business owner may not clean up spilled water in time, leaving their floors slippery. A landlord may not fix the staircase of an apartment complex and you slip, trip, and fall on lifted carpet. A property owner fails to address a hazard when they know about the problem, and they’re considered negligent for a slip and fall. Unfortunately, these incidents may leave you suffering from some of the worst injuries. We’ll help you pursue justice and compensation for your losses. |
