If you do not file a lawsuit within 12 months of the incident, you lose your legal right to sue for compensation for your expenses
Workers Compensation
If you are injured on the job, you may be entitled to receive workers compensation benefits.
Our trained, competent attorneys hear your unique situation, assess your case, and let you know the best legal practices for you. We seek solutions to your problems. We set up appointments with healthcare providers and find a way for you to get the medical attention you need, even if you do not have health insurance.
Defending the rights of injured employees
Workers compensation protects employers from potentially devastating personal injury lawsuits from employees. With teams of lawyers and insurance agents, employers may try to evade responsibility for workplace-related accidents. Employers may send an injured employee to company-affiliated doctors. These doctors may assure the injured person that the injury is not serious, or try to establish that the employee suffered the injury outside of the workplace.
Workers comp typically covers such costs as:
- Medical costs
- Temporary disability costs
- Permanent disability costs
Social Security Disability
The Social Security Administration (SSA) initially denies many Social Security Disability claims. If you have been injured and your Social Security Disability claim has been rejected, contact an attorney at Norman R. Gordon & Associates, LLC.
