How we match your Jeffersonville workers' compensation case

When you submit a Jeffersonville workers' compensation matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.

Case type

A workers' compensation matter needs someone who handles workers' compensation work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.

Size and complexity

Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.

Jurisdiction and licensing

Your matter is decided under Indiana law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Indiana who regularly appears where your case would be heard.

Capacity and fit

Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.

Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.

Usually not. Indiana's workers' compensation system is administrative and handled through the state's Worker's Compensation Board, and it generally replaces the right to sue your employer directly. Separate claims against a negligent third party, such as another contractor or a driver, can sometimes proceed in civil court alongside the comp claim.

It depends on where you were hired, where you regularly work, and where the injury happened, and sometimes more than one state's system is available. Which one you pursue can change the medical and wage benefits you receive. An attorney familiar with both sides of the river can compare them before you file.

Report it to your employer in writing as soon as possible — delay is the single most common reason claims get fought. Indiana sets notice and filing deadlines that vary with the circumstances, so have an Indiana attorney confirm the exact ones that apply to your injury instead of guessing.

Notice to the employer within 30 days under Ind. Code § 22-3-3-1. The formal application for adjustment of claim must be filed within 2 years of the injury under § 22-3-3-3.

The employer. Under Ind. Code § 22-3-3-4, the employer designates the treating physician. Workers who go outside that authorization typically bear the cost unless the Board orders otherwise.
