Mississippi Workers' Compensation Attorneys

When you or your loved one is hurt on the job, Mississippi law requires certain benefits be paid. Despite the law, many employers and insurance companies will try to deny claims or pay as little as possible. Employers and insurance companies have the upper hand, unless you hire an experienced firm to handle your case.

Our Mississippi workers’ compensation lawyers at Richard Schwartz & Associates Injury Lawyers, P.A. understand the challenges employees and their families face when a disability or death occurs as a result of job-related injuries.

We work hard to make sure victims of workplace accidents qualify for:

• Payment of certain medical benefits
• Payment of lost wages
• Payment of death benefits to the surviving spouse and certain dependents

Our attorneys are not afraid to fight the insurance company or employer to ensure you get the help and benefits you deserve.
