Fighting For Your Legal Rights, Right By Your Side. Contact Our Law Offices Today.

Although workers' compensation claims generally do not require court hearings, this doesn't mean that you don't need sound legal advice regarding your rights. If, however, the injury is severe or there is a dispute about your claim or the amount of money you are owed, you will need a workers' compensation lawyer to protect your rights. While we try to help you avoid unnecessary controversy, sometimes we will need to represent you in hearings before an Administrative Law Judge and further to the Appellate Courts.

In the very beginning, dealing with a Worker's Compensation injury was something I thought I could handle on my own. I found out very quickly that is not the case. You all have been in my corner from day one and I am so grateful for everything. I will never be able to repay your patience and kindness, thank you so much!!

Dealing with my workers compensation claim thru the companies insurance company was a truly de-humanizing experience. I turned to GTA for help and not only did they spend many hours pouring over my case, but they made me feel like I was a worthwhile case and empathized with my plight.

William C.
Workers' Compensation
The workers’ comp (insurance) group was treating me like I had done something wrong. I don’t think I’ve ever been treated so important and my voice mattered.
Pam C.
Workers' Compensation
After my injury, I originally thought I didn’t need a lawyer for Worker’s Comp...After a few weeks I realized that dealing with Worker’s Comp wasn’t going to be easy. They were always completely honest and respectful. They always took the time to answer my questions. Always answering my calls and responding to my emails immediately.

I highly recommend Grimes Teich Anderson to everyone that's been hurt on the job and is facing problems with workers' comp. It's not easy doing it alone. Companies say they will settle and it's not much. You need to have an attorney, it makes a huge difference. They do all the work for you and stand up for you when you don't understand the whole system.
