For 30 years, the only law I have practiced is workers' compensation.. I represent injured workers.   I deal with the insurance adjuster to try to obtain all the benefits to which you are entitled.   I keep track of your medical treatment to make sure that you are getting the attention you need; that you are seeing the correct specialists for your particular medical problems; I negotiate with the insurance adjuster about these medical treatments; and I go to hearing (like a trial), if necessary, to request that a judge order the insurance company to provide you the medical treatment necessary to get you better and back to work.. For over 21 years, I represented employers and their insurance companies, gaining invaluable insight into the way insurance adjusters think, how they handle your case, what their bosses make them do, what they are and are not allowed to do under our laws, and I now use that extensive knowledge and experience to help injured workers.. I make sure that you are getting the weekly temporary disability benefits (money) to which you are entitled while you are off work or are working part-time or at a lower wage, and still in medical treatment.   After your medical treatment has been completed, I make sure that you are paid the proper dollar amount if you have any permanent disability.  If it is appropriate, I negotiate the best settlement I can for you.. I am the one who deals with the insurance company so you no longer have to. I make sure that you are treated fairly.  I will go to bat for you when you are not able to yourself, or just don't want to.
