"Tightening Up a Few Loopholes"

Every year workers's comp laws change.  Many of the new rules are applied at the start of the year but some new laws take affect un July 1st.  Pollan Dobbs, PLLC is active in monitoring new laws and rules as they come through the Legislature and Courts.  We find the new problems and advantages that workers face each year so they don't have to.  Workers' Comp is designed to protect injured workers that ask for help.  Unfortunately, the system can be unforgiving to workers that rely on employers and insurance companies to help them through the process.  Everyday they count on this arrangement to limit the care they pay for when they can't limit what the law requires.  You can have a smoother experience if you get the facts--and professional help--right from the start.
