Work Injuries

You have just been injured at work. You tell your supervisor, but what next?  Most companies are required by state law to carry workers’ compensation insurance to help injured workers get the medical care they need so they can get back to work.  This means you have the right to treatment by a doctor approved by your employer and in most cases to receive pay while you are off work recovering. 

If you have injury a significant injury, your workers’ compensation claim can lead to a cash settlement for permanent disability and possible future medical care costs being covered by your employer.  If a death has occurred as a result of a work accident, loved ones may also have a claim for survivor’s benefits and coverage for burial expenses.

The Law Offices of Peter A. Jouras, Jr. takes all work injury cases on a contigency fee basis.  This means we advance all case expenses, and our fee is based solely on the settlement we recover for you.
