We are Oxner Thomas + Permar. Our lawyers have handled literally thousands of workers compensation claims. In doing so, we’ve learned a lot. We have seen people – smart people just like you – ruin their workers’ comp claim by signing the wrong form, ignoring a letter, even by trying to do the “right” thing.
If you’ve been hurt at work, you might not need an attorney, but you definitely need information. We are happy to offer our book “10 Ways to Wreck Your Workers’ Comp Claim” free.
Why do we offer this instead of making you come in for a free consultation that is really a sales pitch? We do it because we are different. We’ll tell you right up front: You may not need a lawyer. We may not be the right lawyers for you. But you do need the information necessary to handle your claim. For years we’ve taken more cases to hearings than just about any firm around. We’ve developed a reputation for refusing to settle cases except on terms very favorable to our clients.
We take only a select number of cases at a time. In fact, we agree to represent far less than half of the people who contact us. But even if we cannot personally handle your claim we’re not going to sit by and watch the adjusters take advantage of more injured workers. That’s why we would like to send you a free copy of our book that retails for $19.95.
10 Ways to Wreck Your Workers’ Comp Claim
Let’s face it: The North Carolina Workers Compensation Act favors employers and insurance companies. The insurance companies take advantage of the fact that you probably don’t know the ins-and-outs of workers’ compensation laws. This book protects you from making common mistakes that injured workers make in trying to handle their own cases. Unfortunately, workers’ compensation laws can be complicated and it’s easy for an injured worker to do something to ruin his or her case. This free book helps you to avoid those pitfalls. We are out to level the playing field and to give every injured worker in North Carolina a chance to get the respect they deserve.
