We Care About Workers' Rights

The attorneys at Platt Jacobus Fielding & Torres are committed to ensuring that individuals suffering from a work related injury are substantially compensated. The law of workers' compensation is basically a negotiated agreement between representatives for labor and management. If you are injured at work , you’re entitled to a percentage of your lost wages until you can return to work, as well as money for medical treatment, and often, permanent disability.

A person injured in a work accident can seek compensation for the following three categories of damage:

• Percentage of payment of medical bills
• Percentage of average weekly wage for the period after the accident when the person misses work
• Percentage of average weekly wage for a to-be-determined number of weeks, representing permanent disability

A workers' compensation case is generally completed far more quickly than a personal injury case because there is no jury and the rules of evidence are simplified.

If you or someone you love is dealing with workers' compensation related claims, the attorneys at Platt Jacobus Fielding & Torres will help you every step of the way, including advising you about the benefits you are entitled to receive. We understand what should and should not be done in these cases, and will work on your behalf.
