Our mission is to protect injured workers in hospitality, construction, public safety, healthcare, and more. From union members such as police, firefighters, nurses, teachers, and professional athletes to nonunion labor, we take your fight personally. Since 1977, we’ve been protecting and empowering our clients, using every tool in our arsenal to help create the best possible outcomes. Every person, situation, and case is unique, so your path forward (to healing, getting back to work, supporting your family) demands highly individualized attention. To get the best results, we take your whole life into account, explore every possible legal avenue, and fight tirelessly to win your livelihood back. Your no-obligation consultation with us is free, and there are no fees to you unless and until we win. How we’ll help you: Workers Compensation: We’ll carefully consider your workplace injury case and make sure you get the medical care and benefits you need. We’ll handle insurance details and can represent you in court for third-party claims, acts of negligence, and product liability. Personal Injury: We’ll represent you, deal with your insurance, support you through the crisis, and help you rebuild your life. Social Security Disability: Our deep understanding of the Social Security Administration’s benefits process and its Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAD) can help win you the best possible results and get the SSDI benefits you need. We also coordinate benefits between systems, such as SSD, WC, and LTD to help avoid possible offsets or credits.
