After Suffering a Work Injury, Contact an Attorney

Posted on August 30, 2016 by O'Dea Law Firm

After suffering a work injury, it is important for people to understand their legal rights. Under the workers’ compensation regime of both Minnesota and Wisconsin, there is a certain administrative process that must be undertaken to get compensation from employers when injuries occur during the course and scope of a worker’s employment.

Filing a workers’ compensation claim can involve the presentation of medical information and negotiations with workers’ compensation insurance carriers. A major issue in work injury cases is determining the precise extent of a worker’s physical injury. It is important to have evidence presented fairly, and to have an adequate assessment of an injured worker’s condition. An experienced work injury attorney can help injured parties get the compensation they deserve.

In some cases, claims outside of the workers’ compensation system are also possible. These cases include injuries that occurred outside of the scope of employment, that were caused by a third party, or that were caused intentionally. A major issue can often be whether workers’ compensation rules apply or not, and an experienced work injury attorney can help injured parties protect their rights.

At the O’Dea Law Firm, we are intimately familiar with both Minnesota and Wisconsin workers’ compensation laws. We can give you an honest and straightforward assessment of your case. Our goal will be to help you to get the compensation that you deserve as quickly as possible. If you would like more information or would like to discuss your case, please contact us today for a free consultation.

Testimonials

I had a wonderful experience here. Mr O’Dea was extremely effective, helped me understand what was going on thoughout the whole process, and did everything he could to make my case as easy as possible.

Cason L.

I was in a car accident in July 2015, and sustained injuries to my neck and back. I was referred to Rich O’Dea by my chiropractor, and every day since that time, Rich has been available anytime I’ve had a question or concern. Rich has explained the entire process clearly and each process has gone just as he has explained it. It’s also comforting to know that you’re only dealing with him directly, your not pawned off to other people in the office. I would refer Rich O’Dea to my family, friends or stranger’s knowing that they’re in the best hands .

Daniel O.

Sarah W.

I was in a car accident with neck and back injuries. After the accident, I started to see a chiropractor who referred me to Rich to help with the stressful path of medical bills. Rich was so knowledgeable and helpful, I was able to focus on healing. He was also very accommodating for appointments to meet with him, and he had excellent communication through out the whole process. I highly recommend working with him.

Sarah J.

I was in an auto accident in the fall of 2017. I sustained neck and back injuries, totaled my vehicle, and had many medical bills to worry about. Rich was a tremendous help in exploring my options, thoroughly explaining the process and procedures, and being upfront with what he thought of the overall outcome. A year later–my medical bills are paid and I am in better health. Thankful for Rich’s support, knowledge, and dedication to my case and situation.

Mitch S.

I highly recommend Rich to anyone dealing with a personal injury case. I was involved in an auto accident in October of 2018 and was left with neck and back injuries. After multiple phone calls with insurance companies, I decided it was time to see Rich and I am so glad that I did. He was very informative throughout the whole process and was able to give great advice based on his experience. I was able to get all of my medical expenses paid which is all I wanted. He made a very stressful situation stress-free!
