What is Workers Compensation? |
| |
|
Workers' compensation is a form of insurance providing wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured in the course of employment in exchange for mandatory relinquishment of the employee's right to sue his or her employer for the tort of negligence. The tradeoff between assured, limited coverage and lack of recourse outside the worker compensation system is known as "the compensation bargain".

Lost wages. Medical bills. Not knowing whether you will be able to return to your job. These are just a few of the things that cause stress and uncertainty in your life after a workplace accident. At McLaughlin and Glazer we are experienced workers’ compensation attorneys.
The workers’ compensation system is designed to compensate employees who have been injured on the job by providing income replacement and payments for medical expenses related to the injury. Unfortunately, obtaining or maintaining workers’ compensation benefits can be challenging and complicated. We can help you file a claim petition for benefits, defend against an insurance company that is trying to terminate or suspend your benefits, or help you evaluate your case when an insurance company wants to “settle” and convert your benefits into a lump sum.
Insurance companies have lawyers and you should too.

If you are denied disability benefits by the Social Security Administration, you can appeal to an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). Obtaining and presenting the medical evidence at this hearing is crucial for your case.
Attorney Glazer has been handling Social Security Disability cases for decades and knows how best to represent you. |
