Workers' Compensation

Oklahoma City Workers Compensation Lawyer

Empowering Victims of Workplace Injuries

Social Security Disability • Short Term Disability • Farm Injury Compensation

If you have been injured on the job, you may believe, and your employer may claim, that your only recourse is through Workers' Compensation. While it is important to begin preparing early to bring a successful Workers' Comp claim, as soon as possible after the workplace injury, it is also important not to rule out the possibility that you may also have cause to bring a personal injury lawsuit.

Were Office Safety Hazards to Blame for your Accident?

Contact an Oklahoma workers' compensation lawyer to discuss all possible sources of compensation after you have been suffered a farm injury, an oil rig accident, a drilling industry accident, or an accident in an office. Safety hazards such as broken equipment or careless actions of subcontractors may open the door to other sources of financial assistance that will help you cope with your injury and other losses, such as lost wages.

Are Other Sources of Help Available Beyond Workers' Compensation?

Workers' Compensation (formerly known as Workman's Comp) is a valuable source of relief for many injured workers. However, the amount paid out by a Workers' Compensation insurer is typically far less than what you will need to live on. This is why we urge all injured workers to have their cases evaluated by experienced personal injury lawyers. Other sources of monetary help may include private short-term disability insurance, Social Security Disability (SSDI) or a personal injury claim against a third party such as a delivery company whose truck driver caused your workplace injury.

Who will Watch Out for your Interests after an On-the-Job Accident?

Do not simply leave your wellbeing in the hands of your employer's HR department or Workers' Comp insurance claims adjuster. Allow an experienced workplace injury attorney to evaluate your case in detail. Contact an Oklahoma workers' compensation lawyer to learn about all your legal rights when you have been hurt at work.
