Do You Need a Workers’ Comp Lawyer in Troy?
While some straightforward claims can be handled without an attorney, many cases benefit from legal representation. You should call us if:
- Your workers’ comp claim was denied or reduced.
- You are receiving incomplete or late benefits.
- You suffered a serious or permanent disability.
- You’ve been asked to attend an Independent Medical Examination (IME).
- You’re considering a Section 32 settlement offer.
Section 32 Settlements in Troy
A Section 32 settlement allows you to close your workers’ comp claim in exchange for a lump-sum payout. While this can provide financial relief, it’s also permanent — you cannot reopen your case later.
Our attorneys will evaluate whether a Section 32 settlement is right for you, negotiate aggressively with insurers, and protect your long-term medical rights.
