Injured at Work?
It Shouldn't Feel like a Full-Time Job.
Denied treatment. Delayed benefits. Endless paperwork. Calls that never get returned.
These aren't just inconveniences—they're obstacles standing between you and your recovery.
I fight to remove those obstacles so you can focus on getting better.
Whether you're fighting a denied claim or trying to ensure your case settles for the highest amount possible, don't do it alone. I understand the system and know how to get the system working for you, not against you.
Workers’ Compensation
Advocacy
Securing your rights after a workplace injury with authoritative legal guidance and expert strategic advocacy.
The Worker's Compensation Process
STEP 01
Reporting the Workplace Injury and Filing Your Claim
The first crucial step is notifying your employer of the injury immediately. We guide you through the formal reporting requirements to ensure your claim is established correctly from the start.
STEP 02
Medical Treatment and Evaluation
We assist in setting you up with the best doctors available to you, and strenuously fight treatment denials. If you can't work during your recovery from your injury or illness, we ensure you receive benefit checks in the appropriate amount while you heal. Though the Qualified Medical Evaluation process can be daunting, we make sure you are prepared and do everything possible to ensure the best and most accurate medical reporting for your case.
STEP 03
Benefit Negotiation and Resolution
Carolyn will discuss your short and long term goals for resolution of your case and do everything possible to help you achieve your desired outcome. Whether by negotiation or litigation, Carolyn will see your case through to the end and maximize all benefits afforded to you.
