For many years there has been an ongoing argument whether or not workers compensation legislation is fair for the employee (injured worker). Throughout this report I will comment on the effectiveness of current legislation for the benefit of the employee and also for the employer.

The single most important thing that an attorney can do in order to help you successfully complete a workers' compensation claim is to compile a medical record.

A lawyer can help you compile an effective medical record by sitting down with your doctors in order to write out a very clear description of your condition and potential future complications of that that

I met with Larry on August 6 regarding his potential Workers Compensation Claim. Larry is a member of Carpenters Local 94 and has worked at the housing authority at Parenti Villa since 1998. His indirect supervisor is Teamsters member Frank Manfredi. Larry reports that on July 16, 2015 he was locking down an elevator on the 15 floor. When he went down to the fourth (4th) floor he observed lots of smoke. He and a laborer Aduarda Figueroa stepped off the elevator along with their supervisor Gabby and Larry was able to identify that the smoke was coming from apartment 411.

The goal of state compensation statutes is to provide a consistent, dependable approach to financial assistance. The structure consists of a wrongfully convicted individual receiving a specific amount of money for every year that he or she was imprisoned, and these statutes are meant to be blind to factors such as gender, race, political connections, and visibility of the case. The problem currently, however, is that there are still 18 states that do not have any form of compensation statute in place, such was the case of Lamonte McIntyre, and many more make it difficult for exonerees to actually quality for the benefits of their state’s statute.

This is a Workers’ Compensation matter where there is a question about whether the employee was covered by the Longshore & Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act or whether we can pursue it under state law.

The evidence in any worker’s comp case can be abundant albeit properly sourced. The first piece of evidence, I would use is medical reports, in the form of doctor’s notes, physician evaluation, and suggestive material for the patient to pursue.
