I would highly recommend his firm!

I went to Mr. Graf with a case that I thought was a lost cause. I wanted my medical bills paid, that's all I was concerned about, and he got me much much more!! I am so happy with the settlement and the hard work he has done, with very little help on my part. I have already recommended 2 other people to contact them.

have had the best experience with this firm. My case was handled with quick results. I have had a previous experience with an attorney that took 15 years to settle. I also appreciated the real talk. He gave me an honest opinion. I am pleased with the results. I know the hassle of having the wrong attorney. Now I know the joy of having the right one.

Charles did a great job coaching me through the steps with the medical professionals. Anytime I had questions or concerns regarding my case he was available and willing to address them, this means a lot to me. He was very thorough explaining the benefits, negatives, or compromises of the many directions the case could go or how our decisions might influence the direction or outcome.
Questions and Answers
Q:Do I have a claim for worker's compensation?
A:
You have a claim if you suffered a loss because of a job-related injury. This means that, to get worker’s compensation, you have to show three things: First, you have to show that you were injured in the course of your employment – that is, that you were working when you were hurt. Second, you must show that your injury happened because of work. Third, you must show that you have sustained a loss. This means that you must show that you lost time from work or had some permanent disability or disfigurement. Contact Gillick, Wicht, Gillick & Graf to review your case with you.

Q:Can I sue my employer and bring a worker's compensation case against them?
A:
An injured worker may not sue his or her employer for an on-the-job injury. Worker’s Compensation is not a lawsuit. No matter how much the employer is at fault for the injury, that employer may not be sued for the injury. According to the Worker’s Compensation Act, an "employer" is not only your employer, but also anyone who works for your employer. Your claim for an on-the-job injury against your employer is for Worker’s Compensation benefits only

Q:How can I be sure I have been fully compensated for my worker's compensation case?
A:
The only way you can be sure you have gotten everything you have coming because of your work-related injury is to ask somebody who is completely familiar with the law and your rights. That person should also be concerned with your rights, not the insurance company’s rights or your employer’s rights under the law. Contact Gillick, Wicht, Gillick & Graf for all of your worker's compensation needs.

Q:Should I cooperate with the insurance company and my employer when I file for workers' comp?
A:
Yes, in general, you should cooperate with the insurance company and the employer when you have a work-related injury. You should report your injury as soon as possible to your employer. Your employer should then contact its worker’s compensation insurance company. The insurance company will contact you and ask you the details of your injury. You should cooperate by telling them the details of your injury. However, never give a recorded statement to the insurance company or your employer, and never sign any statements that you have given. Contact Gillick, Wicht, Gillick & Graf for questions and concerns about your claim.

Q:Am I eligible for worker's compensation if I have hearing loss from my job?
A:
This claim for occupational loss of hearing is normally made upon retirement. There is a formula in the Worker’s Compensation Law which determines whether or not your hearing loss is large enough to make a claim for worker’s compensation benefits. An experienced worker’s compensation attorney will know how to interpret your hearing loss tests and which doctors to use to set up an examination for a hearing loss test. You should contact us immediately upon retirement if you believe you have a hearing loss due to your job.

Q:What do I do if they deny my worker's compensation claim?
A:
We have found that, when the insurance company denies a claim, it hires the best and most experienced lawyers it can to defend it at the hearing. You should do the same. If your claim is denied, or you think you have more coming, contact Gillick, Wicht, Gillick & Graf and we will try to help you in every way we can.

Q:Do I have to go to the doctor my employer tells me to for my workers' comp claim to be valid?
A:
You have the right to go the doctor of your choice for treatment. You should tell the insurance company what doctor you have chosen. If the insurance company wants to send someone to go with you to your doctor’s appointment you should refuse to let them. You do not have to let anyone else come in to your doctor’s office while you are being treated. Contact Gillick, Wicht, Gillick & Graf for your worker's compensation questions and concerns.

Please contact Gillick, Wicht, Gillick & Graf and we'll review your case with you.
