The law office of Rahaim & Saints represents clients in workers' compensation cases involving the following kinds of on-the-job injuries:
Workers' Compensation: Understanding Your Rights
Our workers' compensation lawyers will also investigate other sources of compensation in addition to workers' comp. While you may not sue your employer after a workplace accident - except in cases of extreme negligence - you may be able to recover damages from any third party (someone other than your employer or a coworker) who is responsible for your injury. After more than 25 years of personal injury practice our attorneys are skilled in the investigation of workplace accidents and the identification of all liable third parties, including negligent contractors, manufacturers of defective equipment, and owners of dangerous property.
Whether you were hurt in a construction accident when you fell from scaffolding or were hit a falling object, or a work-related car accident, we have the experience and resources to maximize your recovery of damages following a serious work injury.
Can I Afford to Hire an Attorney?
Absolutely. You may be hesitant about the expense of an attorney when money is already so tight after a workplace injury. However, at Rahaim & Saints we understand the serious financial pressure you're feeling and take all cases on a contingency fee basis. As a result, there are no fees or costs until we recover full benefits, including potential lump-sum payments.
Filing a Delaware workers' comp claim and navigating the workers' compensation system is a complex and confusing process where mistakes can result in a long delay or even denial of benefits. At Rahaim & Saints, our workman's compensation lawyers stay up-to-date on new and emerging changes in workers' compensation rules and regulations. In addition, we are experienced in the correct filing of paperwork and the appeal of benefit denials at all levels of the workers' comp system.
Delaware's Workers' Compensation Code is very specific in what it provides to injured workers, including compensation for:
- Temporary Total Disability
- Temporary Partial Disability
- Medical Expenses
- Disfigurement
- Permanent Injuries
A key element to maximizing your claim is an independent analysis of your accident, your injuries, and your medical condition to counter insurance company claims. Most insurance companies are not malevolent organizations with a personal vendetta against you. Rather, they are large bureaucratic organizations designed to make profits for their owners and shareholders. Unfortunately, they don't accomplish this by paying out injury claims.
At Rahaim & Saints, our workers' compensation lawyers can assist you with comprehensive legal advice and litigation services related to filing a claim, allegations of fraud, and appeals after a delay or denial of benefits.
