Questions
When should I hire a workers' compensation attorney?
You should hire an attorney immediately after a workplace injury requiring surgery, causing permanent disability, or involving disputed benefits. Early representation ensures proper documentation and maximizes compensation.
What services do you offer for SSD claims?
We handle SSD applications, appeals, and hearings while addressing overlaps with workers' compensation benefits. Our attorneys ensure compliance with federal requirements and minimize benefit offsets.
How do you help with Schedule Loss of Use awards?
We challenge insurance company evaluations to maximize SLU awards by presenting medical evidence and advocating for accurate wage calculations during Workers' Compensation Board proceedings.
Can part-time work affect SSD eligibility?
Part-time work doesn't automatically disqualify SSD claims unless earnings exceed Substantial Gainful Activity thresholds over nine months. We help clients navigate these complex regulations.
What payment options are available?
We work on a contingency basis for SSD cases—no fees unless we win. Workers' compensation fees are regulated and approved by the Workers' Compensation Board.
