Protecting the Rights of Injured Workers in Northwest Indiana
If you have been injured in an accident at work, your employer must pay medical benefits and lost wage benefits related to your accident. This is required under workers' compensation law in Indiana. Even if the accident was not your employer's fault, the company is still required to pay for accident-related medical expenses.

Our law firm has earned a reputation as a skilled, ethical and determined advocate on behalf of workers injured in the steel mills, in industrial accidents, at construction sites, home improvement stores, farms and in other workplace injuries throughout Northwest Indiana.

How do you know what you are entitled to under workers' compensation law? How do you know if your employer's insurer or benefits center is paying you the accurate wage loss benefit? Your employer is not required to tell you. And while you may be focused on getting better, your employer and its insurer will be focused on minimizing the amount of money they must pay and on closing your claim. How can you protect your rights to benefits and protect your job?
If a party other than your employer contributed to the cause of the accident, for example, a subcontractor who was working on the coke oven at your employer's steel mill, then you may potentially be eligible to file a personal injury claim against the subcontractor for damages related to pain and suffering, and other costs.
Workplace accidents often have multiple layers of liability, including design or manufacture defects in machinery, subcontractor liability and even employer negligence. These cases require care, knowledge and an ability to handle complex issues of liability. Our firm is well versed in representing cases such as these, and we are also committed to providing you with excellent client service.
