James C. Veith | Workers' Compensation Lawyer

I had a client last year who suffered a significant back injury during his first week on the job. The employer treated the claim as though the injured worker was either injured before his date of hire or that he was faking his injury because he simply did not want to work. As a result, the employer was extremely aggressive in fighting the case. During the case, because the Claimant was unable to work, his economic situation became dire. In the end, we were able to get the Claimant's medical bills paid and to get him the money he deserved which helped him put his life back together after his suffering his work injury.

By giving every client my cell phone number and focusing on a high level of service while fighting aggressively and with integrity.

Someone who knows the law and who will stay on top of your case and be responsive.

It's critical to have an attorney who knows the Judges the doctors and the other lawyers involved in your case. Knowing which doctors are viewed as credible can be critical to your case.

I spend as much time as necessary on the phone to make sure a potential client knows the strengths and weakness of their case and to make sure they understand what is involved in the litigation process and how long the case will take to complete.

I typically need the basic facts of the case (how did the accident happen), a summary of the medical treatment history and the client\'s contact information.

I have been at this for about 20 years. However, while attending law school I worked full time for a manufacturing company managing their workers\' compensation claims. Early in my career I practiced defense work. In other words, with a background in insurance defense and having worked for a large employer, I understand how employers and insurance companies approach defending claims.

Helping people.

I am passionate about my church and my family. I also love BBQ'ing and fly fishing.

I am a member of the senior leadership board at my local church. I am a member of the board of directors of Lakeside School. My children are active in scouting, sports and dance.
