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.
