Although union workers can suffer the same types of on-the-job injuries as non-union workers, workers’ compensation benefits for injuries are awarded very differently between these two classes of employees. This is because union employees are employed under contracts and other types of legally binding agreements that dictate the how workers’ compensation payments are handled after an injury has occurred. Because of all the different parties and restrictions that are involved in these cases, a union worker’s injury claim can become a complex and difficult legal dispute.

Because obtaining workers’ compensation for workplace injuries can be more complicated for union workers, it is a good idea to hire an attorney who has experience handling union worker injury cases.

At Brooks Law, we are committed to helping union workers who have suffered work-related injuries secure the benefits that they are entitled to. We are familiar with the different types of protections that union workers have and we will review all the union and labor laws that apply to your case in order to ensure your rights and interest are defended. From breaking down your union contract or collective bargaining agreement, to figuring out the types of damages you are eligible for, our legal team will help in every aspect of your case.

Labor unions are supposed to advocate for the rights of their members. Because unions can provide assistance for their members, we work to build a strong relationship between our firm and your union. When it comes to getting the benefits you are entitled to, your union can be a valuable ally.

However, not every labor union is willing to work with the lawyers representing their members. Our lawyers are prepared to deal with hostile unions, and if it comes to it, we will take them to court on your behalf.
