The attorneys at Messina & Kiefer, Attorneys at Law, have extensive experience handling workers’ comp claims for clients in Baton Rouge and throughout surrounding areas.

You Have Rights

As a worker, you have rights. Under Louisiana workers’ compensation laws, you are entitled to compensation for:

• Medical bills related to your work injury, including surgery, hospitalization and medication
• Temporary or permanent disability
• Vocational training

Your employer is legally barred from retaliating against you on the basis of pursuing a workers’ comp claim. If you meet resistance to filing your claim, talk to an attorney who can protect your rights.
