Why do you need a lawyer?
In a perfect world, an injured employee would easily collect benefits, recover from the injury, and quickly return to work. However, insurance companies make a practice of denying or delaying claims and often do not fairly compensate damages. This leaves you, the injured employee, with a problem of how to pay medical bills, make up for lost wages, and take care of your family while you heal. If permanently disabled, the fight for greater compensation can be tough.
Whether you suffered severe injuries from a scaffolding accident or whiplash from a car accident, The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker can help you recover the money you need. Our firm has earned a reputation for being aggressive, and while we cannot sue your employer for additional benefits, we can negotiate with the insurance company to see you are fairly compensated. In addition, we frequently pursue claims against other third parties who are liable. Such third parties often include:
- Manufacturers of faulty work equipment
- Parties responsible for maintaining safe roads or premises
- Unsafe drivers that cause accidents
- Employees who harm others in the work environment
- Construction subcontractors or suppliers

For over 30 years, the Law Offices of Larry H. Parker successfully maximized recovery for over 100,000 clients. During that time we have recovered more than $1 billion.
