Psychological Injury in Workplace Accident or Assault Cases
Oklahoma City Lawyers Fighting for Psychological Overlay Benefits
A terrible accident on the job can cause more than physical damage. There may be serious psychological injury as well. Not many attorneys understand these cases fully and are as prepared as we are to fight for the full benefits you may be entitled to under Oklahoma's workers' comp psychological overlay laws. — Attorney Chris Hammons
When you suffer lasting psychological injury as a result of severe physical trauma or a criminal attack at work, our team will aggressively pursue the full workers' compensation coverage you may be due.
We handle psychological injury cases involving traumatic accidents, rape in the workplace, criminal assault on the job, and police and firefighters injured in the line of duty. Our goal is to help you get the medical treatment and psychological counseling that may be necessary for you to regain a sense of normalcy after a life-changing workplace injury or assault. Contact us today for a free consultation.
Leveling the Playing Field for Victims of Psychological Injury
Many times, employers and even workers' comp insurance carriers dismiss claims of psychological injury. They may not understand the devastating effects of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorder, panic attacks, severe clinical depression and other psychological injuries.
On the other hand, they may know that you are legitimately suffering. Sad to say, they may be more concerned about limiting their own financial exposure than treating you fairly. We know how to appropriately document your case in order to aggressively pursue the workers' compensation benefits you deserve for your psychological injury. We will fight the insurance companies for the full and fair compensation you need in order to recover.
