WAW attorneys take an assertive approach to workers' compensation defense. When evaluating a case, they look at every aspect of the events leading up to the accident, how the accident itself occurred, and the medical file. In particular, they look for evidence of fraud or third-party liability. We believe that, while an injured worker deserves the compensation to which he or she is entitled, insurers and employers should not have to pay more than the claim merits.
