After having represented workers’ compensation insurance companies for close to 16 years, Sara’s practice now consists of representing injured workers only. She understands the tactics the insurance companies use to deny claims and uses her significant experience to obtain the maximum benefits that her clients are entitled. She also understands the frustration that comes along with needing medical care and compensation benefits and having the insurance carrier delay or deny those benefits. She recognizes the stress that occurs when her clients are injured and can’t work. This is why she fights aggressively for her clients so that they can obtain the medical care they need and the benefits they deserve. She pursues such benefits for her clients as expeditiously as possible given the individual facts of each case.. When she is not working on behalf of her clients, Sara loves to watch her children play sports. She is also a huge dog lover and can often be found working with her golden retriever, training him to be a therapy dog.. Sara grew up in small town South Dakota and graduated magna cum laude from Mount Marty College in Yankton, South Dakota in 2000 with a Bachelors degree in history, criminal justice and minor in art.
