At Schmidt, Kirifides & Fridkin, we also handle plaintiffs’ personal injury cases that arise from medical malpractice, product liability, premises liability, automobile accidents, and birth injury matters. Personal injury claims can arise from situations in which someone has been negligently harmed, even if the physical or psychological injury was not intended. Some personal injury suits result if an individual has intentionally harmed you or a loved one. And there are some actions by others, even if unintended or non-negligent, that can result in a settlement or jury award for the injured party because of the defendant’s liability for circumstances that caused the injury.

What if my doctor and the insurance company’s doctor disagree?
If the insurance company doctor feels that you have fully or partially recovered from your work injury, but your own doctor believes that you are still disabled and unable to return to work, the insurance company may file a petition to challenge your benefits. A Workers’ Compensation judge will hear each doctor’s medical opinion and render a decision based on their testimony.
