WORKERS' COMPENSATION
This area of the law has become increasingly complex over the last 20 years, and your rights under the workers’ compensation statute may differ considerably based on the dates of injury and other seemingly minor details. Bob Laskoff is one of the preeminent workers’ compensation attorneys in the state of Maine. His command of the complexities of the statutory scheme and the relevant case law ensures our clients solid legal representation. Our firm has successfully represented many hundreds of employees throughout the State over the years. We also represent insurers and employers on a select basis. We also handle occupational disease cases, such as workers who have contracted asbestos-related diseases resulting from exposure to asbestos in the workplace. Additionally, we often represent our workers’ compensation clients in social security disability hearings to insure they receive the benefits to which they are entitled.
In the early stages of a claim you may not need an attorney, especially if your employer is paying benefits. However, if your employer fights your claim or threatens to cut off your payments, or if you want to try to settle your case for a fair value, we recommend that you contact an attorney. If you have any doubt about your claim, we suggest you contact us.
