Get Compensation for Injuries at Work
Under Vermont state workers’ compensation law, you are entitled to the reasonable medical care needed to cure or relieve the effects of your work-related injury. Medical care can include doctors, nurses, hospitals, medicine, medical equipment, and any necessary and reasonable medical treatment ordered by a doctor.
The attorneys at McVeigh Skiff assist you to claim the reimbursement for transportation to and from your treating physician(s), physical therapy, and the pharmacy. You also have the right to choose your doctor(s) after being injured at work. Call us
