Workers' Compensation Attorneys in Louisville, Kentucky
For people injured at work, and those who become disabled over time by work-related injuries and illnesses, workers' compensation insurance is the primary means of recovering medical expenses and lost wages.
In Kentucky, workers' compensation insurance claims and disputes are overseen by the Office of Workers' Claims (OWC). As with other government programs and agencies, the intent is sound but procedures for getting results can be complex. For trustworthy information and legal counsel, you can contact The Law Office of Michael P. Sullivan.

- Occupational diseases such as repetitive stress disorder and carpal tunnel syndrome
- The AMA guide system for classifying degrees of impairment
- Formulas applied by the OWC to determine workers' compensation benefits
- Challenging processes for appeals of denied "workman's comp" claims, including how to appeal a decision before an administrative law judge (ALJ)

Strong Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Representation
For well over 15 years, I have been dedicated to serving the injured and disabled, as well as families who have lost loved ones due to others' negligence.
My approach includes diligence in identifying all legal means of pursuing the compensation you need. Although your workers' compensation benefits are limited by specific statutes, we will also consider whether anyone other than your employer may have been negligent in causing injury to you. If this is the case, you can contact my law firm for aggressive representation.
I provide a free initial consultation. You will not owe attorney's fees* unless we get a favorable outcome in your workers' compensation case, and any fees at that point are determined by Kentucky law.
*COURT COSTS AND CASE EXPENSES WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CLIENT.
