Work related disease or injury cause thousands of injuries each year. Work-related injuries often have long-term impact on you and your family because they can involve serious injury or disability. Under New Hampshire law, employers are required to have workers' compensation to protect employees who are injured on the job or have an occupational disease.

Choose an Experienced Workers' Compensation Lawyer

Deciding on the right workers' compensation lawyer means getting an experienced workers' compensation lawyer. Some law firms represent both employers and employees in workers' compensation claims - our workers' compensation lawyers represent only employees for claims of work-related injuries. Our workers' compensation lawyers appear before the New Hampshire Department of Labor, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board and the New Hampshire Supreme Court to get you the benefits you need.

What Benefits Am I Entitled To?

Our workers' compensation lawyers will aggressively represent you to make sure you receive all the benefits you are entitled to under the law. Some of the benefits you may be eligible to receive are:

• weekly wage replacement compensation based on 60% of your average weekly wage
• payment of your reasonable, necessary and related medical expenses
• payment of a permanent impairment award for a permanent loss of use to a compensable body part
• vocational rehabilitation to injured workers who are unable to return to the kind of work for which they have training or experience
  

You need to report your workers' compensation injury to your employer as soon as possible. Sometimes the workers' compensation insurance company will deny that your injury is even work related. If the insurance company has denied your claim, our workers' compensation lawyers will appeal the denial and aggressively represent you at a hearing at the Department of Labor. Even if your claim has not been denied, our workers' compensation lawyers will pursue your claim with the insurance company to make sure the insurance company provides you with all the benefits you need and deserve.
