Workers' Compensation Claims

Insurance companies are for-profit businesses that inherently seek to limit the amount of compensation paid on insurance policies. If you are hurt at work and you file a workers' compensation claim for lost wages and medical expenses, your employer's insurance provider will put an adjuster on the claim whose job is to minimize the benefits you receive.

You can level the playing field by hiring us to represent you in your workers' compensation claim. Our firm's founder, attorney Scott Pias, worked 20 years for insurance companies before he decided he could better serves the needs of his community by opening his own firm and serving individuals. He understands how insurance companies handle claims and, in turn, how to maximize the amount of benefits you receive.

Social Security Disability Claims

Our firm assists people in obtaining Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) and Social Security Income (SSI) benefits that they desperately need.

The Social Security Administration's criteria for receiving benefits is that a person must have a physical or mental disability that prevents him or her engaging in gainful employment for at least a 12 month duration. However, medical records alone often do not effectively prove a person's disability prevents them from working, and many claims are initially denied. We often call upon experts to show exactly how a particular diagnosis affects an individual's ability to work.
