Protecting the Rights of Injured Workers
If you have been injured on the job, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits, no matter who was directly at fault for your injuries. If you are having trouble getting the benefits you deserve — ranging from on-time benefits checks to outright denials — an experienced workers' comp lawyer may be able to help.
I'm Eric S. Wiener, an Arlington-based attorney representing injured workers throughout Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. If you have been seriously hurt in an accident at work, do not hesitate to contact me for a free consultation.
Pursuing the Compensation to Which You Are Entitled
Whether you are entitled to workers' compensation depends on when and where your accident happened, not who caused it. If you have been injured in the course of employment, you are legally entitled to compensation from your employer for the following:
- Two-thirds of your lost wages
- Medical treatment for your injuries
- Any temporary or permanent disability you have suffered
You are entitled to adequate compensation. I will conduct an in-depth investigation of the details of your case, and continue representing you until you reach maximum medical improvement — in other words, the fullest possible recovery from your injuries.
I am highly experienced at handling workers' compensation cases, including appeals and federal claims, and I have taught continuing legal education seminars on workers' comp topics.
Taking the Right Approach for Your Case
Many workers' compensation claims can be resolved through compromise agreements. However, if it is necessary to take your case to the workers' compensation board in order to achieve a fair outcome, I am fully prepared to advocate for you in that setting.
If you hire me to represent you, my fees will be limited by law to a percentage of your recovery. This gives me every incentive to work hard to get you maximum benefits. To learn more about what you can expect in the workers' comp process, contact me today.
