Protecting Your Employment Rights After an On-the-Job Accident
If you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury following a workplace accident or as a result of an occupational illness, you need a strong advocate to help you protect your workplace rights during recovery. At the Law Offices of Thomas Hoegh, we represent employees in Los Angeles and throughout the San Fernando Valley who have suffered a serious on-the-job injury or occupational illness and need assistance recovering necessary benefits such as workers' compensation, Social Security Disability and other related claims.
Experienced Los Angeles Workplace Accident Lawyer
Our firm has experience handling work-related injuries from a wide range of industries. From construction site accidents such as scaffold falls to office-related injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, we use our experience to help clients protect their rights. We can help you pursue compensation for injuries such as:
- Neck, back and spinal cord injuries: Damage to the spinal cord often requires costly treatment, including multiple surgeries, and could even result in paraplegia or quadriplegia.
- Traumatic brain injuries: The symptoms of a brain injury are not always readily apparent, so it is important to notify your employer of any accident involving head trauma and seek medical attention right away.
- Stress-related injuries: Not all injuries involve bones or muscles. Many employees suffer serious medical conditions due to general workplace stress, including hypertension, stomach ulcers, heart trouble and other conditions.
In addition to pursuing workers' compensation, we will also help you handle any third-party claims if someone other than your employer was responsible for your injuries. If your injury is expected to last at least up to one year, we can also help you determine your rights in pursuing additional benefits through Social Security Disability or other disability benefits programs. Whatever your situation, our goal is to help you pursue and obtain the full compensation to which you are entitled.
You will owe no attorney's fees unless we win your case.
Sensitive Representation in Wrongful Death Cases
We also represent families of victims of wrongful death in pursuing legal action against negligent companies or third parties, as well as in obtaining any life insurance benefits or work-related death benefits under workers' compensation law. We are sensitive to the difficulties involved in pursuing wrongful death claims, and seek to help our clients obtain justice for their loss and necessary closure to begin the healing process.
