Protecting the Rights of Hard-Working Minnesotans
Workers' compensation claims are not as simple as filling out a form and collecting a check. Serious injuries and illnesses that occur while performing your job give rise to complex legal claims that often require the assistance of a seasoned workers' compensation attorney. At Shermoen & Jaksa, PLLP, in International Falls, we are dedicated to Northland residents when their careers are suddenly interrupted.
If you are suffering from a repetitive stress injury, lung damage from exposure to asbestos or chlorine, or any other work-related injury, contact us at 218-258-0544 or toll free at 888-418-9697.
Your Right to File a Workers' Compensation Claim
Many hard-working individuals fear filing a workers' compensation claim. If they are still employed, they worry about retaliation or other type of punishment. At Shermoen & Jaksa, PLLP, we let our clients know that it is their right to file a workers' compensation claim following an injury that occurred, or was made worse, by performing their job duties.
Navigating Through the Complexities of a Workers' Compensation Claim
Our attorneys are experienced in complicated workers' compensation claims involving multiple employers over the span of a career. Exposure to asbestos that resulted in mesothelioma may have occurred while working for more than one company. Lesser-experienced workers' compensation lawyers shy away from these types of complex cases.
Knowing the System and What is at Stake
Since 1982, we have advocated for hard-working Northern Minnesota residents needing workers' compensation benefits. We know the system. We are familiar with the court staff and the judges. We also understand what is at stake for our clients, including their livelihood and sometimes life itself. Deaths that are caused by accidents on the job or toxic exposures result in claims for a worker's spouse, children and heirs.
