Get the Benefits You Deserve After a Workplace Injury
Michigan’s workers’ compensation laws provide financial support to employees injured on the job. However, securing full benefits isn’t always straightforward. Navigating the Michigan Workers’ Compensation Agency (WCA) can feel overwhelming—especially while recovering from an injury.
At Schroder Law, P.C., Attorney Barry C. Schroder—a former Workers’ Compensation Magistrate with over 30 years of experience—advocates for injured workers to ensure they receive the maximum benefits available under the law.
Understanding the Workers’ Compensation Process
- Report Your Injury Immediately – Notify your employer as soon as possible. They are responsible for informing the WCA and their insurance carrier.
- Beware of Settlement Offers – Employers and insurers may offer a lump sum settlement to avoid mediation or trial. However, once signed, you forfeit your right to seek further compensation.
- Protect Your Rights – Barry Schroder evaluates settlement offers to ensure they are fair and advises whether to accept or negotiate for more. If your employer disputes your claim, he will fight for your rightful benefits and prove your case.
