Workers' Compensation
Have you been hurt at work?
The law may be complicated and difficult to understand. The law requires employees to immediately notify their employers and provides a short window of time to make a claim. Some employers try to discourage workers from filing a Worker’s Compensation claim, but do not delay. Insurance companies deny many claims if the employee delays reporting and filing a claim.
The Law Offices of Stefan R. Latorre can help you through this process and make sure you receive the medical treatment and compensation you deserve. We offer a free initial consultation and you will pay no legal fees until we recover a compensation for you.
