Over 35 Years Advocating For Kansas’s Injured Workers
Your employer has an obligation to keep your workplace safe. If you suffer a work injury, you may have a case to recover workers’ compensation. If you are interested in recovering benefits to pay for your medical bills and other damages, I can help you.
My name is Chuck Hess. Workers throughout Kansas turn to my law firm, Hess Law LLC, to represent them in difficult challenges involving workers’ compensation. Since 1986, I have helped thousands of people in all industries file successful workers’ comp claims and appeal denied claims. Just a few of the claims I handle involve:
- Construction accidents
- Machinery accidents
- Factory accidents
- Work vehicle accidents
- Burn injuries
- Slip and falls or trip and falls
- Fatal accidents
I care deeply about helping workers get the workers’ comp benefits they deserve. As a result, I have earned the respect of court officials, employers and fellow attorneys in the field of workers’ compensation.
What Should I Do After An Injury At My Job?
In the middle of a stressful situation like an accident, it is not always easy to remember what to do. However, if you can, try to follow these steps:
- Get medical attention immediately. You have the right to choose your own doctor.
- Report the incident to your supervisor.
- Contact an attorney who can explain your rights.
- With the help of your lawyer, file a workers’ compensation claim with your employer’s insurer.
If your accident involved a third party, you might have the option of recovering additional compensation through a personal injury claim. As a litigator, I can also help you with these lawsuits.
