Work-related injuries to joints may occur as a result of sudden trauma or they may develop over time through repetitive motion. If you have been injured in an accident or have developed a chronic condition involving any joint, contact a workers' compensation attorney. Get advice you can put to use right away at a free consultation with a lawyer at the Law Offices of James Flexer regarding any type of joint injury:
- Knee injury
- Shoulder injury
- Hip injury
- Ankle injury
- Wrist injury
- Elbow injury
- Neck injury
Depending on the nature of your injury and the circumstances, you may require medical treatment such as surgery, physical therapy, occupational therapy and recuperation. If the injury arose from work activities, you have the right to have your medical bills paid by your employer's workers' compensation insurer.
If the workers' comp insurer rejects your claim or tries to force you back to work before your doctors give the green light, you need the advocacy of an experienced lawyer. If your injury is severe and results in permanent disability, you may be entitled to a large settlement in addition to other benefits. For example, when an arm is permanently disabled, a worker is entitled to 200 weeks' worth of workers' compensation disability payments.
