Workers' Compensation

GPNA has an extensive area of practice devoted to workers' compensation. Our workers' compensation team focuses exclusively on accidents related to work.

Work injuries can be the result of:

• Specific incidents (e.g. falling off a scaffold).
• Repetitive trauma (e.g. typing that leads to carpal tunnel).
• Occupational exposure (e.g. inhaling fumes at an oil refinery).

Each state has different workers' compensation laws, so it is important to speak with a knowledgeable attorney. Employees have the right to claim workers' compensation benefits, just as they have the right to other benefits like health insurance or unemployment.

If you are injured at work, you should immediately seek medical treatment and advise your doctor that you were injured on the job, and contact us for consultation.
