Kaleita Law Firm, LLC, P.C. doesn't want you to have to worry about these challenges.

Is your insurance company offering a settlement that is too low? We will push for the amount you need to cover your costs. Is your employer trying to claim that your injury is not work-related, or that you were somehow at fault for your own injury? We can work to prove that facts of your case and get you the benefits you need as soon as possible.
Types of Cases We Handle
When employees are injured on the job—either on-site or out in the field—they are entitled to workers' compensation benefits, which can help them cover lost income and medical expenses. Sometimes the injury or illness is caused by nature of the job (such as repetitive heavy lifting), sometimes it is caused by pure accident (such as a ladder falling), and sometimes it is caused by the employer's negligence or failure to keep the work environment safe (such as failing to properly maintain equipment). There are many different types of workplace accidents and workplace injuries we are prepared to handle. We can work with your employer and the workers' compensation insurance company to discuss your claim and your eligibility for benefits. We are prepared to answer any workers' compensation questions you might have.
Injuries do not always happen at the workplace. Sometimes they occur when you are out living your everyday life, such as when you are driving or when you are at the grocery store. When you are the victim of an accident caused by negligence, it is important to file a personal injury claim so you can recover costs for your medical treatment and other costs. We handle car accidents, motorcycle accidents and truck accidents. Clients sometimes turn to us for premises liability cases, which involve accidents caused by property owners or property managers whose negligence led to safety hazards at public locations (such as malls or stores). These can include slip and fall accidents, and many other types of incidents. When individuals are injured by dangerous and defective products, they can file product liability cases, which we also handle.
