PERSONAL INJURY
Personal injury falls includes injury and even someone passing away due to negligence. Physical injuries and mental injuries can be the basis for claims. Claims may or may not include a lawsuit, and the decision to bring a lawsuit is a decision you will need to carefully make with Michael R. Brown. A claim might arise from being involved in an automobile accident, truck accident, a railroad accident, a fall, and airline or other common carrier accident, being injured because of a dangerous or otherwise unsafe product or drug, and other injury-causing situations. Personal injuries are not only physical. Psychological damage can be considered as grounds for a personal injury claim as well. The causes for psychological personal injuries can range from psychological trauma associated with life-threatening and/or disfiguring physical injuries, witnessing trauma, or following personal escape from serious injury following a traumatic event.

WORKERS' COMPENSATION / WORK RELATED INJURIES
If you are hurt on the job, you likely have the right to file a workers’ compensation claim. Workers’ compensation is a no-fault insurance plan mandated by state law and supervised by the Workers’ Compensation Commission. This is paid for entirely by your employer.
How Do I Know if I am Covered?
If you are working, you are protected, but there are exceptions. For example, employers with five (5) regularly employed workers are required to provide workers' compensation coverage, but it is not mandatory for employers who have less than five (5) employees. There are additional categories that are not covered under the law but may be provided voluntarily by an employer. Please contact Michael R. Brown for a consultation today.
What Is Covered?
Any injury is covered. It does not matter if the injury is small or catastrophic. Occupational illnesses and diseases as well as work-related death are covered.
AUTO AND TRUCK ACCIDENTS (TYPES OF PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS)

SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION
Sexual harassment is a type of employment discrimination. The law considers sexual harassment employment discrimination because it involves discriminating against someone based on sex. Other types of discrimination such as race and religious discrimination are prohibited by law. They contain strict requirements for you to discuss with Michael with reference to your claim.
