Workers' Compensation Lawyer in Bossier City, Louisiana

Providing Solid, Effective Representation for Work Injury Victims

When you have sustained a work-related injury, it is important to consult with a qualified attorney, even if you believe there is no need for legal action. An attorney can function as a mediator with the insurance company and as an advocate should you need legal assistance in the future.

At our office, Attorney William R. Long focuses his practice on serving the needs of injured victims, defending them from overzealous insurance companies, and fighting for their financial benefits. If you have been injured, please contact us to schedule a free consultation to discuss your situation.

The Way the System Works

The Louisiana workers' compensation system is designed to return an injured person to work as quickly as possible. Once the injured person is released from medical care, he or she is expected to return to employment even if they cannot return to their same position or, even with the same employer, and workers' comp benefits may cease.

To provide some financial compensation during the victim's time of recovery, the individual may receive a percentage of his or her wages as long as the doctor recommends the person to refrain from work. Pain and suffering damages are separate from workers' comp. These damages may be connected to the workers' comp system if a person is injured by a third party while on the job. This is known as a third party claim for damages.

We Can Help You through Each Step of the Process

At the law office of William R. Long, we know dealing with a work injury may be a confusing and frustrating time. If you have been injured, we are able to help you understand the process of filing for benefits and answer your workers' comp questions.

We can make sure you are receiving the benefits you are entitled to receive, such as mileage to and from your medical appointments. We can work directly with the insurance companies on your behalf, and when the time comes for you to return to work, we can guide you through the functional capacity tests and rehab counselor process to identify appropriate employment, and negotiate a fair resolution (settlement) for you or proceed through a trial to obtain a judgment if necessary.
