Workers' compensation and disability benefits
Workers' Compensation
A work site accident can be extremely catastrophic, even deadly to victims. Employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance in the event that an employee is injured on the work site. Workers’ compensation limits the amount of liability of the employer while ensuring that every individual who is injured on the work site is able to efficiently recover workers’ compensation benefits.
If you or your loved one has been injured in a work site accident, contact Mike McKinley for more information about our workers’ compensation services. He is dedicated to the efficient payout of workers’ compensation benefits to the victim’s of work site accidents.

Workers' Compensation Process
If you sustained an injury at work, whether in an accident or through the repetitive use of a body part, you may be eligible to collect workers’ compensation benefits. Seek medical treatment to document any and all symptoms related to your injury and report then promptly report the incident to your employer. After making your employer aware of your injuries, you should consider contacting an experienced attorney who can help you through the workers’ compensation process.

It is illegal to terminate an employee for filing a workers’ compensation claim. If you were laid off, reassigned to a lesser-paying position or otherwise retaliated against for filing a legitimate claim for workers’ comp benefits, he can help.
Repetitive Trauma
When most people think of needing a personal injury lawyer, they think of suffering a single accident resulting in a catastrophic injury. However, the overuse of a specific body part, such as the wrist or elbow, can also cause serious injuries resulting in long-term pain and requiring significant medical attention. Called repetitive trauma injuries or repetitive use injuries, these conditions can be debilitating and may entitle you to monetary benefits.
If you are suffering the effects of a repetitive trauma injury and want to learn more about your legal options, contact Mike McKinley. He is skilled in both personal injury and workers’ compensation claims, and can help obtain the compensation you deserve.
