When you are hurt, injured or become ill while performing your duties as an employee, you may qualify for workers’ compensation benefits.
Your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance pays for medical care, rehabilitation and some wage replacement if you need to miss work. Aversa & Linn represents employees in workers’ compensation cases so that our clients can obtain — and maximize — the benefits to which they are entitled in the workers’ compensation system.
