If an Injury Prevents You From Returning to Work
If you have an injury that prevents you from returning to the job you were in before your accident, you may be wondering what your options are. If you're too young to retire, you are worried about finding a new job. If you aren't sure what transferable job skills you have, you need to know how you will find a new job. Regardless of the situation, you need an attorney who can help.
When you contact The Griggs Firm, P.A., that is what you will find. We work with individuals in Jacksonville and throughout Florida who are unable to return to work because of injuries suffered in an accident.
After an On-the-Job Injury or Accident
Many people who are unable to return to their olds job now have a new problem. They have to prove they are disabled or that they are losing significant wages. Some employers accommodate injured workers for a few months but then lay them off. Although the employee may be given another reason for their termination, it is often a result of their injuries.
Proving you are unable to work through the testimony of a vocational expert or economist, along with your doctor, is a complicated process. The insurance companies do not want to accept responsibility for all of your losses willingly. You need professional guidance through this process.
If You Are Unable to Work After an Accident
Stuart Griggs will give you specific advice on how to prove your lost wages or disability. Remember, disability is never decided by your doctor alone. Further, telling a judge or jury that you have always worked hard and should be trusted if you feel you cannot work is not enough. Like it or not, your fate often lies in the hands of others, and you need to know how to prove your case.
