Workers’ Compensation Attorneys in Montana

Workers’ compensation coverage is intended to provide the worker a swift and certain remedy after being injured on the job without the need to go to court to get medical bills and wage loss compensated.

The purpose and goals of the Montana and Oregon workers’ compensation system are set out in the statute and are primarily to be a cost-effective way to get workers back to work. The statute limits benefits for workers and excludes certain types of claims. An attorney can be critical in helping the injured person obtain the appropriate compensation under the system, but also to look at other potential claims and sources of recovery since the workers’ compensation statute is limited. A Montana and Oregon workers’ compensation attorney understands how the court works and what steps need to be taken to get a favorable settlement for a workplace injury.

Kalispell Workers’ Compensation: Navigating Local Challenges

Living and working in Kalispell, Montana, comes with its unique set of challenges, especially when it comes to workplace injuries. The many industries in the area such as manufacturing, milling, etc., can lead to a number of work-related injuries. At Bliven Law Firm, P.C., we understand the specific hurdles faced by workers in our community and can help you navigate the complexities of the workers’ compensation system.

Supporting Injured Workers with Personalized Services

Kalispell residents can benefit from local resources such as the Montana Department of Labor & Industry and the Flathead County Government, which provide valuable information and support for injured workers. However, navigating through these entities can be overwhelming without proper legal guidance. Our team is well-versed in the local regulations and procedures, ensuring that you receive the benefits you deserve.

Obtain the Workers’ Compensation Benefits That Are Rightfully Yours

You can trust our attorneys to look out for your best interests, not the workers’ compensation insurer or carrier. They want to show that while you cannot perform the functions of your current job, you can do something, no matter how minor or whether it pays much less than your job at the time of injury. Often times the workers’ compensation insurers hire nurse case managers to direct your care and get your doctors to say you can go back to work at your job, or other jobs, that may not be available in your area or even exist in the local economy.

Providers are often resistant to give vocational rehabilitation benefits to help you take a new career direction, or even rate your impairment so you get the permanent disability award you are entitled to under the statute. Our job is to aggressively pursue your interests, and everything else you are entitled to, so you can move on with your life. Unlike many other law firms in this valley and this state that claim to work for injured folks, we have never been lawyers for insurance companies, nor will we. We work for the injured and disabled and fight the insurance companies. The insurance companies have lawyers working on the case and so should you. Some lawyers think that it is acceptable to work for both sides in injury and disability cases. We don’t, we are dedicated to advocating for the injured and disabled.
