Law Office of Susan A. Nunn

Did you know that as early as 1800, the British Prime Minister William Gladstone helped pass a law called the Employer's Liability Act? This act abolished the old common-law defenses that made if hard to prove employer negligence, but did not establish a "no-fault" system.

Sometimes when you are injured while working, your employer may offer to assist you in job placement somewhere else in the company. This is called alternative work and is sometimes seen as a better alternative than vocational rehabilitation or supplemental job displacement.

After you've been harmed, you should claim for compensation as soon as possible to give you and your family with the pay and medical benefits you require. Remember, it's never too soon to ask for an attorney’s help.

As an employer, you have rights when it comes to the workers’ compensation coverage you are carrying. If the provider you are using is not fulfilling its obligations, legal assistance is available to make sure everyone fulfills their obligations.

Are you concerned that your employer will try to trick you into admitting fault for the accident? While your case is ongoing, it’s usually best to let us handle communication with your employer on your behalf.
