If you have been injured on the job, your first priority needs to be the immediate reporting of your injury to your supervisor. After receiving any necessary emergency medical care, your second priority needs to be securing the representation of a skilled workers' compensation attorney.

- Contractors

What Can I Expect After Being Injured on the Job?
After you have been injured, your employer needs to supply you with a choice of three physicians to provide medical treatment and determine what, if any, restrictions need to be placed on your ability to perform your job.
- If you are unable to return to work due to restrictions that are put in place, you may be entitled to temporary total disability benefits.
- If a physician determines that your injury will be permanent, you may be entitled to permanent partial disability or permanent total disability
We will work to ensure that all necessary evidence is presented to secure the benefits that you are entitled to.
