Why should I hire Stewart Law Offices to represent me in my worker's compensation case?

Tracy Stewart has represented Social Security disability claimants after serious worker's compensation injuries since 2002. Through years of careful review of worker's compensation medical records, court documents and depositions, she has developed an integral understanding of the types of subtle issues that can thwart the compensation of an injured employee. For example:

1. Employers and insurance companies sometimes construe a legitimate injury or symptom as fraudulent;
2. Medical professionals hired by the employer are not always sympathetic to the patient's;
3. Medical professionals sometimes misunderstand a patient's communication of symptoms, to the detriment of the treatment process;
4. Injured employees can be railroaded through the system resulting in difficulties with both care and compensation for the permanency of their condition.

Well aware of these issues and others, Tracy Stewart will help navigate you through the maze that is worker's compensation, and will not let the employer, insurance company, or physician minimize your symptoms and injuries without a fight.

Finally, as a professional, Tracy Stewart is responsible and conscientious. She is dedicated to her clients and the integrity of the system.
