He has handled many cases with multi-million dollar outcomes where children were born with trauma or serious birth injuries that could have otherwise been avoided if not for the medical mistakes made by doctors, hospitals, nurses and other healthcare providers.

Are
all on-the-job injuries covered?
Workers’ Compensation covers most workplace injuries and illnesses.
This is true even if an employer or other employee’s carelessness
caused the injury. There are limits, however. Coverage is not provided in
the event that an injury is caused by intoxication or illegal drug use.
Coverage may also be denied if an injury is self-inflicted, suffered while
the worker was committing a crime, or if the worker violated company policy.
You should know that your injury need not be caused by an accident to be
covered. Often, workers receive compensation for injuries that accumulate
over a long period of time, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or back pain.
Diseases that develop gradually as a result of work conditions also fall
within the Act. These might include heart or lung conditions or stress-related
illnesses. You might also be entitled to benefits if your work aggravates
a pre-existing condition. |
