Workers' Compensation Attorney in Sioux Falls

Independent contractors are usually not eligible for workers' compensation benefits. However, you may still have other options to obtain compensation, including filing a claim directly with the at-fault party.

Workers’ comp is a no-fault system. What this means is that you can file a claim regardless of fault. That said, intentional self-inflicted injuries or those resulting from drug or alcohol use while on the job can jeopardize your claim.

Insurance companies may deny your claim for several reasons, sometimes valid, other times out of bad faith. Here are a few examples: 

• Delayed reporting of the injury
• Disputes over the nature or cause of the injury
• Lack of medical evidence supporting the claim
• Employer disputes on whether the injury is work-related
• Failure to meet filing deadlines

If you believe your claim was unfairly denied, please get in touch with us for a free case review. 

You may have the option to settle your workers' compensation case for a lump-sum payment. However, you should carefully consider this decision since it could mean giving up your rights to obtain more compensation further down the line. That’s one of the key decisions we may be able to help you make if you have a valid case.

It won’t cost you anything upfront. That’s because we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we’ll only request payment from you if we win the case and you recover a settlement or verdict. So, don’t worry about being unable to afford a lawyer from America’s largest injury firm. The fee is free unless we win.

You have rights that deserve to be protected if you get injured on the job. Get in touch with us today for a free case evaluation. We’ll be more than happy to help you secure the rights and compensation you are entitled to.
