Common questions
Should I report the injury to my employer?
Reporting the injury is usually an important step and it is best to do it in writing when possible, keeping a copy.
Can I consult if I am receiving workers’ compensation?
Yes. Receiving workers’ compensation does not prevent a review of whether other paths exist depending on who was involved in the accident.
What documents should I gather?
The injury report, medical records, pay stubs and any written communication with the employer or the insurer.
Does the firm assist in Spanish?
Yes, we offer bilingual support throughout the entire process.
