The Workers’ Compensation Act and its companion statute, the Occupational Diseases Act, are statutory remedies enacted by the legislature to benefit employees injured at work.
There are many issues in a Workers’ Compensation case that can be technical and in which the advice of an attorney is beneficial. These issues include determining and providing the nature and extent of an injury, taking depositions, determining average weekly wages, statute of limitations or notice questions, dealing with an employer or their insurer to obtain fair compensation for an injury, conducting hearings and providing proper documentation of an injury. Delano Law Offices, LLC is experienced in all these areas.
