Workmans Comp Lawyer

When I was injured on the job, my workmans comp lawyer was a godsend. Now this wasn't one of those really dramatic injuries that you might see in a workmans compensation attorney advertisement on tv. I wasn't hit by anything falling, cut by anything sharp, run over by anything heavy. And yet, according to my workmans comp lawyer, the type of injury I did suffer was more common than all of those combined. You see, I received what is known as a repeated stress injury, and it ruined months of my life.

I work as a factory – an auto factory to be precise. It is my responsibility on the line to turn, grab the fender, and lower it into place on a car body passing by. It is heavy work, but not quite as hard as you might think because it is all hydraulically assisted, but still, it does put strain on the body. Repeatedly twisting to the right and the center all day, five days a week, twelve months a year, puts a strain on the body that it wasn't really meant to handle. But when I started complaining of back troubles they refused to transfer me to another place on the line, even though I could easily be taught to do a different motion in the assembly line.

Finally, after months of complaining to deaf ears, I threw my back out. I was laid up for six weeks, in terrible pain and scarcely able to walk. When I called my workmans comp lawyer, he told me that I had a very solid case. I had hired a very good workmans comp lawyer on the suggestion of my cousin, who had also been injured on the job, and he told me that it was a near certainty that we would win.

When the workmans comp lawyer contacted the company, they stonewalled only briefly. It was no long at all until they were gung ho to settle out of court. The package that they were offering was more generous than I would have expected, but they had ruined my health. I wanted to go for broke. My workmans comp lawyer pursued the case and won 800,000 dollars for me, to take into account both injuries suffered and pain and suffering. In addition, they are required to allow me to remain employed, on disability, for the next six months, and then offer me a position. I certainly didn't do wrong to hire a workmans comp lawyer.
