Workers' Compensation Matters

Attorneys in the Labor and Employment Practice Group represent clients in administrative and judicial forums in the many types of matters which arise from workplace injuries and illnesses.
A serious employee injury can result in a lawsuit, an OSHA complaint, and a workers’ compensation claim. The same injury may draw into question and interpretation the employer’s policies regarding leaves of absence and accommodation of disabilities. Giving competent advice in a workers’ compensation matter may require resolving issues regarding the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act and state handicap discrimination law. The extensive experience of the Labor and Employment Practice Group has prepared our attorneys to be responsive to the full gamut of potential issues. In addition to the experience of the Group’s attorneys, a nurse paralegal plays an active role in preparing for hearings and responding to pleadings and discovery requests.
