Hurt on the job?
Do not fight the insurer alone.
Workers' compensation is supposed to be simple: you get hurt at work, you get medical care and wage benefits. In practice, insurers delay, deny, and underpay. That is where I come in.

- Fighting denied or delayed claims
- Getting authorization for the medical treatment your doctors recommend

Three states, one attorney
Workers' compensation is state law, and the rules in Florida, Missouri, and Kansas are all different: different reporting deadlines, different benefit rates, different judges. Adam is licensed in all three, which matters if you were hurt while traveling for work, your employer is based in another state, or your family has moved since the injury.
Act quickly
Every workers' compensation system runs on deadlines, and the clock usually starts the day you are hurt. Report the injury to your employer immediately, get medical care, and talk to an attorney before you give a recorded statement or sign anything from the insurance company. The consultation is free.
Common questions
What should I do first after a work injury?
Report the injury to your employer right away, in writing if possible, and get medical care. Reporting deadlines in workers’ compensation are short, and late reporting is one of the most common reasons claims get denied.
My workers’ comp claim was denied. Is that the end?
No. Denials are common and are often the beginning of the process, not the end. An attorney can challenge the denial, develop the medical evidence, and push the claim in front of a judge if the insurer will not move.
Can I be fired for filing a workers’ comp claim?
Retaliating against an employee for pursuing workers’ compensation benefits is unlawful. If you believe you were punished for filing a claim, raise it with an attorney immediately.
What does a workers’ comp lawyer cost?
The consultation is free, and fees in workers’ compensation cases are generally contingent and subject to state rules and approval. You will see the fee arrangement in writing before anything starts.
