The Representation Your Need From A Workers Compensation Lawyer
Workers’ compensation is insurance that provides workers injured on the job with medical assistance, care, and benefits based on the diagnosed work-related injuries and illnesses.
In addition to providing coverage for the cost of medical expenses, workers’ compensation also covers lost wages and the cost of rehabilitation programs for those injured. Each state manages its own workers’ compensation program, which is why employees hurt on the job need to work with our workers’ compensation lawyer in Arlington, VA.
Why Consult with a Workers' Compensation Attorney?
There are many reasons why injured workers in and around Arlington, VA, should hire workplace injury lawyers. Unfortunately, those with serious and long-term injuries and disabilities often find that the employer denies the claim. It is possible to appeal these decisions. Working with our experienced workplace injury compensation lawyers provides the most effective way to win an appeal after a denial.
The employer may also make a low settlement offer that does not cover medical costs and lost wages due to the work-related accident, injury, or illness. In these cases, Sean W. O’Connell, an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer, will work on your behalf to obtain the benefits you require.
In addition, the Law Office of Sean W. O’Connell represents employees who have faced retaliation from their employer after filing a workers’ compensation claim. We also represent clients in lawsuits outside of workers’ comp, including when employers are not part of the workers’ compensation system or other factors are involved in the case.
