Workers' Compensation Attorneys in Portland
In Portland, Maine, you may be entitled to compensation when you get injured on the job. This compensation goes into settling your medical bills and recovering any wages you might have lost while recovering – or still recovering – up to a certain limit.
However, there’s no guarantee that your claim will be approved the very first time you file it. The insurance company handling the claim might deny it for various reasons, sometimes justified, other times not. If your claim has been denied, you shouldn’t give up. A Portland workers’ compensation lawyer from Morgan and Morgan might be able to dig into the facts of your case and determine whether the denial was justified and if you still may be able to recover damages.

What Damages Can I Claim?
In a workers' compensation claim in Portland, you can typically claim the following damages:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Rehabilitation costs
- Vocational training, if needed
However, the specific damages you may be able to recover will depend on the unique circumstances of your case, which is why you should have an expert review it.
What if I Was at Fault for the Accident?
In most cases, that shouldn’t be a problem. With workers’ compensation insurance, you can receive benefits even if you were at fault for the accident. That said, you may not be entitled to compensation for intentional self-inflicted injuries or those resulting from drug or alcohol use while at work.
When Do I Need a Lawyer?
Many different scenarios may warrant the need for a lawyer. Examples include but are not limited to the following:
- Your claim is denied
- You are facing retaliation for filing a claim
- Your injuries are severe and require extensive medical treatment
- There are disputes about the cause or nature of your injuries
What if I Cannot Afford a Portland Workers’ Compensation Lawyer?

This no-win no-fee system gives you access to attorneys from the nation’s largest injury firm without worrying about paying attorney fees upfront.
How Do I Know My Claim Was Unfairly Denied?
Such claims get denied for various reasons, including incorrect information, a misinterpretation of the facts, or a failure to adhere to workers' compensation laws. When you contact us about your case, we should be able to determine whether the denial was fair.
Can My Employer Retaliate Against Me for Filing a Workers’ Compensation Claim?
Retaliating against an employee for filing a workers' compensation claim is illegal. If you suspect retaliation, you should contact us immediately for a free case review. You may be able to take legal action against the said employer and recover damages beyond what your workers’ comp insurance covers.
