Workplace Injuries Are Not Just Limited to Physical Aches and Pains
Some workers, especially those in high-performance, deadline-driven jobs, can sustain internal injuries or serious medical conditions due to the stressful nature of their work. Recovering workers' compensation for such conditions, however, can be difficult without the assistance of an experienced workers' compensation lawyer.
At the Law Offices of Thomas Hoegh, we protect the rights of public and private sector employees in Los Angeles and throughout the San Fernando Valley who have developed serious medical conditions because of a stressful work environment. If your workload has caused significant medical issues, we can help you identify all possible options for seeking compensation for any medical care you may need, both now and in the future.
Dedicated Advocacy for Overworked Employees
Many employers and insurance companies will attempt to minimize employees' claims for stress-related injuries, citing pre-existing conditions or factors unrelated to work as the cause of your illness. However, overworked individuals or those who feel under pressure at work can develop stomach ulcers, heart trouble, hypertension or high blood pressure, among other medical issues. Mental strain and psychological problems can also be caused by work-related stress. While these conditions may only be temporary, some can cause lasting damage if left untreated.
The Law Offices of Thomas Hoegh represents employees who have developed any of the above symptoms as a result of workplace stress. We will examine your case in detail, including any doctor's reports and medical records, to help you obtain the benefits you need to treat stress-related injuries. We will serve as your advocate against reluctant insurance companies or employers, taking your case to trial if necessary to obtain the compensation you deserve.
You will owe no attorney's fees unless we win your case.
Protecting You on All Fronts
As experienced employment law professionals, we also understand that many times, employees may face adversity in the workplace due to filing for workers' compensation. By law, employers are required to reasonably accommodate injured or disabled employees. If they do not, you may be eligible to file a claim for discrimination with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing. As your advocate, we will identify all possible claims you may have and coordinate each one to help you achieve maximum compensation.
