Workers' Compensation Attorneys

Serving Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Workers compensation is a law created to ensure that employees receive the medical attention they need and get compensation for any injury suffered while on the job. Employers are required to have insurance that covers the medical cost of any employee injured during the course of his or her employment.

If you have been injured on the job, you may have extensive medical bills and have to take time off work to recover. Worrying about finances and being unable to work as well as getting medical attention can consume your time and cause you to neglect filing your workers' compensation lawsuit. Experienced Tulsa workers' compensation attorney James Self handles all the necessary legal steps and paperwork so you can concentrate on healing.

There is a statute of limitations for workers' compensation lawsuits. A statute of limitations is a time period in which your lawsuit must be filed to be considered valid. The statute of limitations for workers' compensation cases in Oklahoma is two years. It is important to speak with Self & Associates immediately following your on-the-job accident to ensure your lawsuit is filed within the time limit. We will answer all of your workers' compensation questions and guide you through the legal process from start to finish.
