Workers Compensation
When a tragic workplace accident occurs, the compensation process should be straightforward. We handle all cases related to claims for workers compensation benefits. Some industries are more accident-prone and their employees suffer more serious injuries such as construction sites, plant workers, etc. Unfortunately, employers and their insurers attempt to escape responsibility for injuries that victims incur within the workplace. This is just one reason why victims stand to benefit from partnering with an experienced workers compensation attorney. We work with individuals from all walks of life, from factory workers to construction employees, from firefighters and police officers, to office workers and health care professionals.
Taking Action After An On the Job Injury
When you are injured at work you should receive treatment for all of your injuries—not just the ones the insurance company wants to accept. Under Louisiana law, an accident refers to anything that is unexpected, unforeseen and occurs suddenly or violently – producing an injury.
A list of these types of injuries include:
- Fractures
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Sprains
- Concussions
- Amputations
- Bruises
- Chemical and electrical burns
- Lacerations
