Workers’ Compensation Attorney

An accident is defined as an event that produces an injury. Accidents may be a minor as falling from a desk chair or feeling a pop in your back while lifting something. While not the exclusive means to trigger a workers’ compensation claim, this is the primary avenue to enter the workers’ compensation system. If you believe that you’ve had an accident, contact the Ellis Law Firm of North Louisiana for a no obligation consultation to review your worker’s compensation claim.

From the office to the shop floor, or even a quick trip to the store while running an errand for your employer, injuries for employees can occur almost anywhere. Just because you were not at your work’s primary place of business does not mean that you are excluded from the workers’ compensation system. Contact us for a review of your workers’ compensation claim.

If you are asking this question, the answer is yes. No injury is too minor to be excluded from worker’s compensation. Cuts, aches, bruises, and sprains may all be compensable if your injury is a work-related accident. No matter how minor, we will review your claim. Contact us today. 

Are you being paid by your employer for the time that you have been unable to work due to work-related accident? Have you been told by your doctor that you can’t return to work, either for a short period of time or permanently? Have you returned to work and find that you are unable to earn the same wages as before? You may be entitled to wage benefits. Make sure that your benefits are being properly distributed by allowing us to review your workers’ compensation claim.

Is your employer not paying your medical bills for your work-related accident? Have they denied you a choice of your own physician? What about denying a medical procedure recommended by your doctor? Your employer may be liable and you may be entitled for penalties for their failure to provide you with proper medical benefits. Contact us to ensure that you are getting the medical treatment that you are entitled to.

Just because you are unable to return to the position you were in before your work-related injury does not mean that you can never work again. Your employer could be responsible for assisting you in finding a job within your doctor-prescribed limitations and possibly for providing retraining for a new career field. Come see us to see if your employer could be required to assist in finding you an alternate position or employment field.
