Aggressive Defense Against Workers' Compensation and Longshore Claims

Employees injured in the service of an employer are generally entitled to receive workers' compensation benefits. But how much benefit is necessary? What legal obligations must the employer and insurer fulfill to ensure the injured employee receives sufficient care? Our attorneys handle a wide variety of issues, including:

  • Disability claims, including total or partial permanent disability ratings
  • Longshore defense
  • Extra-contractual / bad faith defense
  • Jones Act Claims
  • Medicare set-aside issues
  • Multi-party claims

In addition to providing aggressive workers' compensation defense, our attorneys also help clients make use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods such as mediation, arbitration and other methods.
