If you are hurt, you need help – fast.  We provide immediate advice to help you get medical benefits and wage replacement.  We are able to help clients secure access to their worker’s compensation benefits.  If an insurer denies benefits to an injured worker, we take the case to the Industrial Accident Board.

We also advise clients about other avenues of recovery such as third party lawsuits.  Worker’s compensation law prohibits lawsuits against employers and coworkers.  In many cases, however, a third party, such as a supplier of defective equipment or negligent construction management may be responsible for the injuries.  In a third party lawsuit, the injured person may recover all lost wages, medical bills, out of pocket expenses, past pain and suffering, future pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of future earning potential, loss of function, and future medical expenses.  A third party lawsuit provides broader compensation than worker’s compensation benefits.

At Segal Roitman, the great majority of third party cases end with an advantageous out-of-court settlement.  However, we litigate all third party cases with the intention of taking each one to trial and winning on the merits.  In that way, we get the best settlements and the best trial results.

Litigation can be intrusive and confusing.  At Segal Roitman we aim to get the best results for our clients with the least sacrifice of privacy and dignity.
