Cases
Death benefits for widow Practice Area: Workers Compensation Date: Nov 16, 2011 Outcome: Death benefits awarded and payment of medical bills Description: Claimant had a back injury which was contested. 6 months later he had back surgery and dies 3 days later while he was still in the hospital of a heart attack.This was a difficult case because the injured worker was dead and I still had to prove how the accident occurred. Second, I had to prove that his death was related to his work accident. His wife testified and his doctor wrote a good medical causation report.

Additional Info
My firm is different from a typical workers’ compensation law firm. We do not take a large volume of cases and settle them cheaply without any intention of taking the cases to a hearing. Also, many times, clients come to us with cases for which they are clearly entitled to a recovery. However, because the injuries to the worker may be minor or they have not lost time from work, we may decide that it is their best interest and they will make more money not hiring an attorney and settling with the insurance company on their own. We tell our clients up front if hiring an attorney will get them more money.
