Areas of Practice

• Workers’ Compensation: assisting employees in filing claims, securing medical treatment, and obtaining weekly income benefits after on-the-job accidents.
• Construction Accidents: Representing workers injured on dangerous job sites, including falls from heights, equipment failures, and scaffolding collapses.
• Third-Party Liability: Identifying and pursuing claims against negligent parties other than the employer who may be responsible for an injury.
• Catastrophic Work Injuries: Handling complex cases involving severe injuries such as amputations, burns, and spinal cord trauma that require long-term care planning.
• Appeals and Hearings: representing clients before the State Board of Workers’ Compensation when benefits are unfairly denied or terminated.
