Protecting Wyoming’s workers rights
When your hard work and job commitment abruptly end in a workplace accident, the injury can result in devastating consequences to you, your family and your future employment prospects. The distressing aftermath of a workplace injury can leave you feeling vulnerable and alone. Justin Kallal has 10 years’ experience guiding injured workers through the arduous procedure of processing a workers compensation claim with the Wyoming Department of Labor. He can help you receive full payment for your injuries or illness, including:

• Compensation for permanent disability
• Dependents’ recovery for worker’s death
• Lost wages or salary
• Rehabilitation expenses
• Retraining costs

You are entitled to workers compensation for an injury or illness that occurred at your workplace or a work-related activity, regardless of whether the injury or illness occurred in connection with your job.  Even in the absence of your employer’s fault or negligence, you can still receive the help you need through workers compensation benefits.

Third party compensation
When you accept a workers compensation payment, you do not waive your right to recover from a negligent third party.  If you were injured by someone other than a co-employee or your employer, you may be entitled to substantial money damages from the third party and still receive workmen’s compensation benefits.  In certain extraordinary situations, you may be entitled to recover money damages from a co-employee and your employer.

Appealing a workers compensation final determination
If your workers compensation claim is unfairly denied, you have only a short window of opportunity to appeal the unjust final determination. If you receive a denial of your claim, immediately disagree with the final determination and send it back to the Division of Workman’s Compensation. Next, contact us.  Justin can help you avoid the stress of maneuvering through the overwhelming bureaucratic process of fighting a contested workman’s compensation case in the Office of Administrative Hearings.  After you object to your final determination, the State of Wyoming will normally pay all of your attorney’s fees for the entire contested case.
