Top Best Work Place Injury Lawyers | 7723 Available

I take great satisfaction in fighting for injured workers or accident victims who are being treated unfairly by insurance companies. One important legal issue I helped clarify was the right to vocational rehabilitation for injured workers. When my client was denied any meaningful vocational rehabilitation to return her to work, through an unjust interpretation of the law by the Department of Labor, I took her case to the Vermont Supreme Court. We won the case, and our client was able to get her Master’s degree in counseling paid for by the insurance company. Even more importantly, the decision changed the way the Department of Labor treated all other injured employees in Vermont receiving vocational rehabilitation services.. I have been practicing law in Vermont since 1979 and am a founding partner of Biggam, Fox & Skinner, LLP. Before starting my legal career, I worked in many different job settings. I was a schoolteacher, hospital aide, factory worker, construction laborer, and farm hand. I understand the difficulties that face workers in these different job sites, and the problems that arise when you are injured.. I value education and family safety, and over the years I have advocated for improvements in our workers’ compensation system and personal injury laws. I am past president of Vermont Attorneys for Justice, and have worked closely with the Vermont legislature to make these improvements.

I became an attorney so I could help ordinary people fight for the things they are entitled to. I offer free consultations to Vermonters injured at work or hurt through the negligence of others.. Before becoming an attorney, I worked in the construction industry, where I saw firsthand how hardworking people do not always get a fair shake.. At Biggam Fox Skinner, I focus on helping people get their workers’ compensation benefits. It’s frustrating for me to see deserving people struggling with the workers' compensation system while also trying to recover from a work injury.. I work closely with my clients and my paralegals to present the strongest case possible. I am very detail-oriented and learn the specifics of each case by really listening to my clients and what they need. Although the legal process can be long, I make sure my clients understand the process and the issues in their case. I’m persistent and I won’t give up.. I’m from New Hampshire and now live in Waterbury Center, Vermont, with my partner and our disobedient dog. I enjoy camping, gardening, and live music.
