Workers' Compensation Defense

Has the Workers' Compensation Board slapped you with a penalty? Did one of your employees file a workers' compensation claim against you? Does your company not carry workers' comp insurance? Do not delay. We are ready to protect you with high-caliber legal support.

In cases where an employee is injured, we thoroughly investigate the case, what happened, and if there is any indication of fraud. We examine the injury to determine the validity of the claim, and we collaborate with doctors and physicians to attempt to minimize the damage done by the claim. If it turns out that the employer is facing severe ramifications such as being sued or dealt fines or a criminal sentence, we help provide the legal steps to reduce the consequences.    

If you have been assessed a penalty by the Workers’ Compensation Board, you could be subject not only to that penalty but also, in some cases, criminal prosecution.

If an employee has filed a claim but you had no workers' comp insurance at the time of the incident, the medical treatment can be costly and open-ended. We are routinely called upon to advise uninsured employers.

At Sivia Business & Legal Services, P.C., our attorneys have a thorough understanding of the intricacies in the workers’ compensation system. Contact us today at 618.659.4499 to schedule your in-depth and free initial consultation.
