Our legal team at Kennedy Hodges, LLP has extensive experience in protecting the rights of injured workers in all occupations, including construction, offshore workers, and all others. Employers and their insurance companies could try to avoid paying out the full amount of compensation that you need to survive financially or provide enough time for a full recovery to health. If you are injured, it is important that you inform your employer immediately.

In some cases, valid claims are contested and your employer may assert that you didn't sustain the injury while at performing your duties on the job. Additionally, you need to keep very thorough records and receipts of all your medical bills, including doctors' appointments, surgeries, prescription medications, chiropractors, physical therapists, and any other injury-related costs. You can seek compensation for all of these as well as for travel expenses going to and from medical appointments, and lost wages. The point of workers' compensation is for you to be able to have peace of mind while recovering from a work-related injury.

In some cases, we pursue further compensation through third parties that could have liability in the injury, such as equipment manufacturers or others.
