A Lansing Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Who Will Fight For You After A Work Injury
People in Lansing work hard daily to make ends meet, but on-the-job injuries can put you behind in bills and career earnings. Whether you’re an auto worker, an electrician or a healthcare worker, workplace injuries can have a major impact on your life.

We can help those in Lansing advocate for the coverage they deserve after an injury.

How Can You Strengthen Your Workers’ Compensation Claim?
These steps can strengthen your workers’ compensation claim in Lansing:
- Report the injury: You should report your injury or illness as soon as possible, ideally in writing, to your superior or the Human Resources Department. Officially, you have 90 days, but a quick report can help squash doubts about the veracity of a claim.
- Obtain prompt medical care: You do not need your employer’s permission to seek emergency care when you need it for a workplace injury. Make certain that the provider notes in your chart that you were injured at work.
- Follow the rules: Your employer can choose your treating physician for the first 28 days. After that, you can change providers.
A Lansing workers’ compensation lawyer can help you to gather all relevant evidence in your case.
