How a Workers’ Compensation Attorney Can Help

At the office of Larson & Gallivan Law, we are here to provide support during every step of filing a workers’ compensation claim and receiving a settlement offer. Ways that our lawyers can help include:

Proving that your injuries qualify for workers’ compensation insurance
An insurance company may try to deny your claim by arguing that your accident didn’t occur during your work-related duties. For example, the insurance company may claim that you were “off the clock” when the accident occurred. Our lawyers can investigate your claim and present a strong case that your injuries are eligible for benefits.

You were proving the extent of your injuries
Another way that the insurance company may try to get away with paying you less than you deserve is to dispute the extent of your injuries. For example, it may argue that your injuries were preexisting or that your injuries aren’t as serious as you claim them to be and that you can return to work. We’ll work with doctors and experts to make sure these claims aren’t used to diminish the value of your claim.

Negotiating your settlement
You do not have to accept the first settlement offer that you receive and likely shouldn’t. If you have been offered a settlement, we can review it to ensure it’s fair and, if it’s not, represent you during settlement negotiations.

Appealing a denied claim
If your claim has been denied, we will guide you through the appeals process and represent your best interests. We have experience working at various levels of the appeals process.

Everything else
In addition to the above, our lawyers will:

• Advocate for you
• Remain available and accessible
• Work hard to get you the settlement you deserve

You can count on us to be dedicated to your case and aggressively fight for you.
