This question is too complicated to answer in short form. You should contact a licensed attorney immediately if you have questions about statutes of limitations. Missing this deadline prevents compensation recovery.

Yes, we handle commercial truck accidents involving semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, and tractor-trailers. These cases require immediate evidence preservation and analysis.

Workers' compensation typically pays 66 2/3% of your average weekly wage for lost time, subject to state maximum limits.Must I report work injuries immediately?
Yes, it is advisable to report your work injury to your employer immediately. The law requires formal reporting within 90 days, however, immediate reporting typically makes for a stronger case.

Do I need an attorney?
I get asked this question frequently. My advice is to TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. By searching this far, your insticts have told you that this is an important matter that you may not be able to properly handle on your own. Again, I would trust your initial instinct and at least follow through with a 100% free consultation. You deserve that!
