Workers' Compensation Overview

New Orleans Workers' Compensation Attorney

Many employers and their insurance companies don't tell injured workers everything you need to know. So who do you trust when you have been hurt at work? You need someone on your side to protect your workers' compensation rights.

At the Repasky Law Firm, LLC in New Orleans, my main focus is workers' compensation law. I will work hard to make sure that you receive the benefits you deserve. Call 504-488-4102 or contact my office online to schedule a free initial consultation.

Your Rights as an Injured Worker

If you have been injured at work, you deserve to be compensated fairly. Your employer or their insurance company is required to pay for:

  • Medical treatment and prescription medication
  • Travel expenses going to and from the doctor and pharmacy
  • Weekly wages during the time you are unable to work
  • Medical attention from a specialist such as an orthopedist, surgeon, psychiatrist or neurologist if necessary

There are also certain actions that employers and their insurance companies are not allowed to take. If your employer has threatened to do or has done any of these things, contact my office as soon as possible to learn how I can help you get the compensation you deserve:

  • Fire you for filing a workers' compensation claim
  • Force you to go back to work if your doctors say that you are unable to work
  • Refuse to pay for recommended medical treatment or prescription medicines
  • Force you to only see the company doctor

If you're not sure whether or not your injury qualifies for workers' compensation benefits, I invite you to learn more at my Do I Have a Claim? page.


Protecting Your Rights

As a workers' compensation lawyer, I am dedicated to helping you get the benefits you are entitled to by law. You will have my full attention for your case, and you won't pay me anything unless we win.

Don't give up if your claim has been denied. Contact my office to schedule a free initial consultation to find out how I can help. We may have to file a claim with the Louisiana Office of Workers' Compensation. It is important that we act quickly — there is a limited time frame in which you can file a claim.

If the employer or insurance company acts unreasonably, we will request that the court order them to pay penalties and/or attorney's fees.
