Phoenix Workers' Compensation Claim Attorney

Even if you are unsure whether you have a workers' compensation claim, you are wise to discuss your injury with a lawyer.

At Crossman Law Offices, P.C., we charge no fee for discussing your potential case . We are hands-on to determine within minutes whether you have a case. We treat each client as our only client, and we work to obtain the maximum compensation for your injury. Contact our Arizona workers' compensation benefits attorney for a FREE PHONE CONSULTATION.

Whether your injury occurred on the job, because of the job, or the job aggravated, hastened or exacerbated a pre-existing condition, you may have a claim. If you are losing time from work and compensation because your symptoms have worsened, be sure to notify a supervisor.

Workers' compensation is a no-fault system in which blame is not a factor. Even if you are at fault, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits if you were hurt on the job and can no longer work.

You may also be entitled to workers' compensation benefits if:

• Doctor says you can't work yet you are not receiving checks;
• Insurance company denies you doctor-prescribed treatment;
• Industrial Commission miscalculates your lost wages due to injury;
• Job was cause of injury even if it did not occur on premises (e.g., truck driver); or
• Doctor says condition is related to work injury.

If workers' compensation didn't include all of your wages when setting your average monthly wage, we can help. If you suffered injury as an independent contractor, the law looks at the totality of circumstances to determine if you were in fact an employee entitled to benefits. If your employer did not have insurance, we still can help you obtain workers' compensation benefits.

If you had an injury years ago, or if you need additional medical treatment that you were not given previously when your case was closed, we can help to reopen your case. If your case was filed properly, you may be protected for the rest of your life. If your job situation has changed, we can do a rearrangement to have your checks increased.

If you have an award from the Arizona Industrial Commission that is not final, it can be appealed. We can request a hearing for review.

Have I Waited Too Long?

The statute of limitations allows one year to file a claim for workers' compensation benefits. Contact us today to learn whether you have a case. It is best to consult a lawyer as soon as possible. Once the process begins, you may be inundated by opposing counsel with Interrogatories, Notices of Medical Examinations, Notices of Deposition, and other confusing documents. Failure to correctly abide by these Notices or answer the Interrogatories could result in penalty fees, sanctions or forfeiture of your claim. You have certain rights and should know them before answering any questions.
