Consider that you have worked nearly your entire life for a company day in and day out for the last 25 years. One day you wake up and realize that you don’t feel like yourself. After a week or so of the funny feeling you decided to visit you doctor. This is when you receive the news that you have a debilitating disease that your doctor suggests may be the result of your occupation and daily work duties.
Immediately you seek treatment for your occupational disease. This costs money that comes out of your pocket for whatever isn’t covered by insurance. You may even have to take a leave of absence from your job in order to best deal with your health. A friend suggests filing for workers’ compensation. After weeks of waiting, your employer denies your request. Now what?
You may think that you have no options left but this is not true. Kampf, Schiavone & Associates are waiting to help you with the next steps. With over $250 million recovered for our injured clients, we do not take any workers’ compensation situation lightly. All worker injury cases are important to us and we value the client-attorney relationship.
Do not allow your injury to change the course of your life or the lack of healthcare funds to determine the level of care that you will receive. Occupational injuries and illness is a reality for many workers, especially in an industry where dangerous or repetitive tasks are the norm. There are options if an employer denied your claim. Consider legal advice to aid you through this process.
