Yuma Workers’ Compensation Attorneys

The Yuma area is known for its many industries.  The industry we have perhaps the most experience with in this area is farming.  There are many farm workers both seasonal and year round that work arduous and dangerous jobs out in the fields.  Many of these workers come from immigrant families. 

At Arizona’s Work Injury Firm many of our attorneys come from immigrant families.  We feel a special connection and desire to serve these communities.  Serving our Yuma office is Alex Carpio whose father was a immigrant roofer who worked/works in Tucson.  Alex loves the Yuma community with strong connections and friends there.   Our firm donates regularly to the local schools and charities.  We recently went as far as to purchase a building and office in Yuma with employees there ready to serve you.  Alex Carpio visits the Yuma office regularly to meeting with and attend virtual hearings with clients.  Our other attorneys and partners will regularly stop and work there coming and going from California. 

At our law firm, we place a large emphasis on serving the rural communities of Arizona.  It is our feeling that other firms with no rural connection or experience can prey on injured workers from these areas.  We try and provide an attorney who knows not only the law but also the area and industries from which our clients come from.  It is for this reason that Alex Carpio services this area.  He cares not just about the injured workers but about continuing to build the community from which they come.

Yuma Workers’ Compensation Attorneys

Arizona law requires employers to have workers’ compensation insurance that covers the medical expenses of injured employees on the job. The workers’ compensation insurance also helps injured workers with rehabilitation as well as recovery of lost wages. Working with experienced Yuma workers’ compensation attorneys helps you to avoid any failures in the fulfillment of your workers’ compensation claim.

Workers’ Compensation Injuries

Some of the injuries that we encounter under the workers’ compensation insurance include:

  • Knee injuries
  • Herniated or bulging disks
  • Head, back and neck injuries
  • Foot and ankle injuries
  • Aggravations of pre-existing conditions
  • Shoulder injuries
  • Repetitive motion injuries

Our experienced Yuma workers’ compensation attorneys can analyze your injuries and develop strong evidence to support your compensation claim.

How Workers’ Compensation Settlements Work

Hiring our skilled lawyers enables you to understand the negotiation and calculation of your workers’ compensation settlement. Instead of accepting an offer from the insurance company on your claim, you can pursue a more favorable settlement. Which is very achievable with the help of our Yuma workers’ compensation lawyers.

If you decide to pursue a greater workers’ compensation settlement, there will be negotiations between you and the insurance company. Alternatively, your legal representation could stand in for you and offer substantial help. The settlement should critically take into account issues such as:

  • Current medical fees
  • Future treatment expenses such as surgeries
  • Disability payments
  • Lost wages and future wage loss

Once the calculation has been finalized, the negotiations can be carried out effectively. Though the insurance company may be unwilling to give in to your request, the settlement amount will satisfy both parties. The workers’ compensation settlement can either be a structured payment plan or a lump sum. If the parties fail to settle or aren’t willing to have negotiations, you may choose to go to trial. Which will necessitate the filing of a workers’ compensation lawsuit.

Workers’ Compensation Lawsuit

In the case of a workers’ compensation lawsuit trial, the judge evaluates the case and determines a fair settlement. There is however a risk in filing a lawsuit. The judge may award a settlement that is even less than what the insurance company initially offered. While this may be unlikely, it’s the risk that an injured worker has to face in pursuing a workers’ compensation lawsuit.

Workers’ Compensation Benefits

Injured workers are entitled to receive payments for disabilities and lost wages along with medical coverage under workers’ compensation insurance. There are temporary and permanent benefits in a workers’ compensation settlement:

Temporary Benefits

Lost time benefits which are received as compensation for lost wages make up the temporary benefits. Such benefits are only last when you are actively under treatment.

Permanent Benefits

Permanent disabilities are often compensated with permanent benefits. Medical proof is required to ascertain that there is very minimal chance for your condition to improve any further.
