Workplace accidents are common and often cause victims and their families great anguish and financial hardship. Workers' compensations laws provide meaningful medical and wage loss benefits to those who have suffered an on-the-job injury, including compensation for permanent injuries. Work injuries commonly occur from falls, repetitive movement, lifting, defective products, automobile accidents, or  occupational disease. Compensation is available to injured workers regardless of whether or not the injury was due the worker's negligence, the negligence of another, and the previous physical condition of the employee.

At Regan Zambri & Long, our mission is to provide the very highest level of legal representation to our clients in an effective and compassionate manner. Following a job injury, workers often lose wages and have a difficult time getting needed medical care. Consequently, when a worker suffers an injury on the job, it is very important for the worker (or in the case of death, the family members) to receive competent advice and representation from an experienced attorney. Unfortunately, otherwise compensable claims are lost because legal assistance was not promptly obtained. In such circumstances, claims are often restricted because they were not timely asserted or because workers did not properly document their injuries or the happening of the accident. In addition, without proper representation, complex laws governing workers' compensation claims, which vary from state to state, may eliminate the possibility of recovery when certain legal criteria are not satisfied. Some jurisdictions, like the District of Columbia, prohibit recovery if an injured worker accepted a benefit under another jurisdiction's laws. This can be extremely costly result if the benefits would have been much greater to the injured worker had he or she properly brought the claim in the District. Therefore, when a work injury occurs, consultation with an experienced attorney should take place immediately.

At Regan Zambri & Long, we have the knowledge and experience necessary to determine where and how claims should be filed. We also aggressively investigate the viability of pursuing a third-party claim (an action against some other person or entity besides the injured worker's employer), where additional benefits might be obtained. We also have the resources needed to prosecute the injured worker's claims at the highest level. Employers have insurance companies working to protect their interests. We understand that injured workers don't know where to turn for strong legal advice after a serious injury. Our nationally recognized lawyers guide our clients through what can be an intimidating and confusing time. We do so with an unwavering commitment to obtain just settlements and awards.
