Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pursue a personal injury claim if I'm also filing for workers compensation?

In many cases, yes. Workers compensation covers on-the-job injuries, but if a third party's negligence caused your injury, you may pursue a separate personal injury claim. Merritt & Merritt can help you understand your options in both areas.

What should I do immediately after a workplace injury?

Report your injury to your employer right away, seek medical treatment, and document everything about the incident. Preserve evidence like photos, witness statements, and the accident report. Contact Merritt & Merritt early so they can protect your rights from the start.

How much of a settlement will go to my attorney?

Merritt & Merritt typically works on a contingency fee basis, taking a percentage of your recovery only if you win. The specific percentage and any costs are discussed during your initial consultation, and all fee agreements are clearly explained in writing.
