Workers' Compensation

In Louisiana, if you are injured on the job, no matter who is at fault for your injury, you are entitled to receive lost wages and medical benefits based on the Louisiana Workers Compensation Act. Schwartz Law Firm focuses on the representation of injured Louisiana workers, handling claims all over the state. We'll bring your case to court if your employer won't let you see your own doctor or alleges your medical condition pre-existed the accident.

You're protected because Louisiana Workers Compensation covers all workers in Louisiana who are injured while working. You do not have to show negligence to receive Louisiana's Workers Compensation. You merely have to be injured while at work. By law you might receive up to 2/3 of your pay.
