You are entitled to workers compensation for an injury or illness that occurred at your workplace or a work-related activity, regardless of whether the injury or illness occurred in connection with your job. Even in the absence of your employer’s fault or negligence, you can still receive the help you need through workers compensation benefits.

At Walton, Smith, Phillips & Dixon, P.C., our attorneys carefully review your case to determine how you can recover the compensation you deserve.

Appealing a workers comp decision
If your workers compensation claim is unfairly denied, you have only a short window of opportunity to appeal the unjust decision. We can help you avoid the stress of maneuvering through the overwhelming bureaucratic process of appealing to the Michigan Workers Compensation Agency.
