Workers Compensation

Workers Compensation law is a no fault system designed to compensate individuals who are disabled as a result of an injury or occupational illness arising out of and in the course of employment. In addition it provides for benefits for specific losses such as amputation of a finger or limb.

A worker must be off 8 days in a row before he/she can collect any wage loss benefits. On the eighth day benefits become payable. If the worker is off for at least 15 consecutive days benefits become payable for the first seven days .

In addition to wage loss benefits injured workers are entitled to medical care for their injury as well as vocational rehabilitation.

We represent a variety of union and nonunion workers ranging from day laborers , millwrights, heavy equipment operators to professionals such as lawyers, teachers, doctors, accountants and human resource persons.
