Hard Work Deserves Compensation

Some people are never able to make a full recovery from their broken ankles or knees injuries. Construction workers who fall or ladders and scaffolding may never regain full strength in their legs. Of course, the higher the fall, the more severe the injuries. Often times, the best recovery you can make will fall short of full strength. When you work with an experienced workers' compensation attorney, you can make sure you get the full extent of workers' compensation you deserve, both in terms of medical coverage and financial compensation for your lost wages.
Severe ankle fracture injuries often require fusion surgery. Your bones will most likely have to be mended together with screws. In some instances, the fusion fails to hold and a second surgery will be required.
In these times, it is important to have a lawyer who will continue to fight for your rights and make sure you get the full extent of medical treatment you need in order to make the best possible recovery. Just because one doctor (or the company's doctor) has told you that "this is as good as you can get, and you have to live with this pain", doesn't mean you have to accept that. We know how hard the process can be. We want to help you get the medical treatment which will get you back on your feet and back to work and normal activity as soon as possible, but not until you are ready.
Slip & Fall Accident
Many knee and ankle injuries are sustained in workplace slip and fall accidents. If you have a slip and fall accident at work, it is especially critical that you give immediate notice and document the circumstances surrounding and causing the fall. Your employer/insurer may try to claim that the reason for the fall had nothing to do with your job or work environment. It is important to get documentation and evidence from the area of the accident, and also medical treatment, as close to the time of the accident as possible.
