Crossman Law Offices, P.C., focuses on workers' compensation law. Our Phoenix-based practice is devoted exclusively to helping workers get benefits, and our attorney Avery Crossman has been certified by the State Bar of Arizona as a workers' compensation specialist
At Crossman Law Offices, our mission as Phoenix Workers’ Compensation Attorneys is to protect Arizona’s injured workers. For more than 25 years, Avery Crossman has fought for employees who have been hurt. As a State Bar of Arizona Certified Workers’ Compensation Specialist, Avery is known for her compassion, experience, and determination. She understands that a workplace injury can impact a person’s health, income, and family life. Our firm focuses solely on workers’ compensation law because that singular focus leads to stronger results and better outcomes. This dedication has helped Phoenix workers rebuild their lives after serious injuries. When an accident happens, the process can feel overwhelming. Employers and insurance companies may question the injury or delay in treatment. We handle the entire process, from paperwork to communication with insurers, so that you can focus on recovery. We coordinate with doctors, track filings, and communicate directly with the insurance carrier to make sure no step is missed. Every client receives personal attention, and we take pride in keeping you informed every step of the way.
“As Avery Crossman handled my case, I always felt she was in my corner. She made herself available no matter what my concerns were. She never gave up and never compromised her integrity. She took on my case as if she personally felt my injustice herself. Her compassion and understanding always encouraged me. Her fees were fair. She put many hours in on my case, much more than what was expected. I felt she deserved more, but she would not accept the increase. She is a person of her word.”
- Michelle F.
Our practice is built on integrity, compassion, and results. Avery Crossman personally manages each case, offering clear communication and trusted guidance from start to finish. Her in-depth knowledge of Arizona’s workers’ compensation laws allows her to anticipate challenges, respond swiftly to client concerns, and secure fair, lasting outcomes. We emphasize accessibility and empathy, ensuring every worker feels supported and informed throughout the legal process.
Accidents can occur anywhere, from construction sites to offices and hospitals. Arizona law protects you from injury, regardless of where you work. Our role is to help you navigate that process effectively and reduce stress during recovery. We carefully collect evidence, maintain organized communication with insurers, and prepare detailed documentation for hearings before the Industrial Commission of Arizona (ICA). The ICA’s Claims Division oversees filings and ensures compliance, while the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Division resolves disputes between workers and employers. Although the ICA can answer general questions, it cannot provide legal advice or represent your interests. That’s where we step in. We ensure every part of your claim is accurate, complete, and fully supported, representing you in hearings, appeals, and negotiations to protect your rights and maximize your benefits.
We understand that legal costs are a concern for injured workers. Our firm operates on a contingency fee; you pay nothing unless we recover your benefits. Arizona law regulates attorney fees to ensure fairness and transparency. Before representation begins, we explain all terms clearly so you know exactly what to expect. There are no upfront fees or hidden charges. We aim to remove financial barriers and allow every injured worker to receive quality legal representation.
Workers’ compensation benefits provide essential financial and medical support that protects you during one of the most challenging moments of your career. Depending on the nature and severity of your injury, you may qualify for several categories of benefits designed to cover both immediate and long-term needs:
Our team takes time to explain every available benefit and the process for obtaining it. We verify wage statements, coordinate with medical providers, and follow up with the insurance carrier to ensure your claim moves forward efficiently. We aim to help you recover physically and financially, with clear guidance through every step of Arizona’s workers’ compensation system.
representative cases
CASE WRONGFULLY CLOSED
Mr. S. was hurt on the job and the injury required back surgery. The insurance company closed his case, without any surgery, and stopped sending him any money. The Crossman Law Offices was able to successfully litigate the matter and got the case reopened. Mr. S. began receiving further medical treatment and bi-weekly checks while he recovered.
CASE WRONGFULLY CLOSED
CLIENT: Larry S.PERMANENT LOST WAGES
The Crossman Law Offices began representing Mr. B. back in 1980, after he was thrown from a dump truck, severely injuring his back. At that time, the insurance company had closed his case stating that he did not a have a permanent impairment even though his doctor said otherwise. The insurance company's position was appealed and not only were we successful in getting Mr. B. a permanent impairment, he was also awarded monthly checks for his lost wages. He received monthly lost wages for 35 years, after which they gave him a lump sum to pay him for the remainder of his life expectancy.
PERMANENT LOST WAGES
CLIENT: Clinton B.CLAIM DENIED
Ms. W. got hurt while working at a fast food restaurant. She hit and dislocated her knee, which required medical treatment. She also missed work because of the injury. The insurance company denied that she had an on-the-job injury. The Crossman Law Offices stepped in and got the videos from the restaurant showing that the accident had occurred on the employer's premises, during the course and scope of our client's work duties. After that, the parties settled out of court for a lump sum settlement.

meet avery crossmanAt Crossman Law Offices, P.C., we’ve spent over two decades helping Arizona employees understand their rights and secure fair compensation. Here are answers to common questions we hear from injured workers in Phoenix:
Yes, most workers are covered. Under the Arizona Revised Statutes § 23-901, nearly all employees, including part-time, seasonal, and undocumented workers, qualify for benefits. Even if you’re labeled an independent contractor, we review your job duties to see if the classification was correct. Many workers discover they’re actually entitled to coverage under the law.
Yes. Injured workers are entitled to medical care and partial wage replacement. Benefits may include:
We ensure that your payments are accurate and on time. We swiftly enforce your rights if the insurance company delays or denies your claim.
Act quickly. According to Arizona Revised Statutes § 23-908, employers and doctors must report workplace injuries to the Industrial Commission of Arizona. You should:
We help ensure these steps are completed correctly so benefits aren’t delayed.
Under Arizona Revised Statutes § 23-1061, workers must file a claim within one year of injury or when they first become aware the injury is work-related. This timeline applies to sudden accidents and occupational illnesses that develop over time. For instance, repetitive stress injuries or respiratory conditions might not appear immediately. In those cases, the clock starts when you know, or should reasonably know, that your job caused your condition. Filing promptly helps preserve evidence, witness accounts, and medical documentation that support your claim.
Our team allows workers to complete the correct forms, submit evidence, and verify receipt with the Industrial Commission of Arizona (ICA) to avoid delays or denials. We also guide clients who may have missed the deadline by exploring exceptions, such as employer misrepresentation or unreported incidents, ensuring every possible avenue is pursued to protect your benefits.
Under the Arizona Revised Statutes § 23-1044, injured employees are entitled to wage replacement equal to two-thirds of the difference between their pre-injury and post-injury earnings. This calculation includes hourly pay, overtime, and bonuses. We review your wage records to ensure your payments are correct and uninterrupted during recovery.
The law provides wage loss benefits equal to two-thirds of the difference between pre- and post-injury earnings. All pay, bonuses, and hours are correctly factored into this calculation to maximize your benefits.
To start a claim, your doctor will complete a Worker’s and Physician’s Report of Injury form and submit it to the ICA and insurer. You’ll then receive a Notice of Claim Status. If denied, you can appeal before an Administrative Law Judge. We guide clients through every phase to ensure accuracy and fairness.
Arizona’s workers’ compensation law covers a wide range of benefits. In addition to basic wage replacement and medical care, injured workers may be eligible for:
Phoenix’s growing economy includes industries that face unique injury risks. Construction and manufacturing workers often sustain back, joint, and crush injuries, while nurses, caregivers, and first responders may suffer repetitive stress or lifting-related harm. Office workers frequently deal with carpal tunnel syndrome and vision issues caused by repetitive use. By understanding the specific hazards associated with these jobs, our firm tailors legal strategies that reflect each case’s medical and occupational realities.
We also help workers dealing with occupational illnesses—conditions that develop over time due to exposure to harmful environments or materials. These may include respiratory diseases from dust or chemicals, cardiovascular problems linked to job stress, and hearing loss from continuous noise exposure. Many employees do not immediately realize these conditions qualify for workers’ compensation, but our firm helps identify and document their work-related cause.
Filing a claim can be intimidating, but our office makes it simple. We help complete the Worker’s and Physician’s Report of Injury, confirm submission to the correct insurer, and ensure the Industrial Commission receives proper notice. Once a claim is filed, insurers have 21 days to accept or deny it. If your claim is denied, we immediately prepare your appeal and represent you in hearings before the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). We present medical evidence, witness testimony, and expert opinions during these proceedings to support your case.
When necessary, we take claims beyond the ALJ stage to the Arizona Court of Appeals, pursuing every available legal remedy. Our familiarity with the local court system and administrative process allows us to handle complex cases efficiently and strategically.
Representing yourself in a workers’ compensation claim can be risky, as insurers have teams of adjusters and attorneys trained to minimize payouts. Avery Crossman’s years of experience ensure our clients have a strong advocate who can respond effectively to these tactics.
We evaluate medical evidence, identify underpayments, and challenge improper denials. Our approach is compassionate and meticulous, designed to protect workers’ long-term rights, not just short-term benefits.
We treat every case personally because every injured worker deserves to be treated with respect. Clients come to us during stressful times, and we provide reassurance through transparency and action. From the first consultation, we explain your rights, timeline, and what to expect next. Our clients know they can always reach us directly for answers, not through a call center or assistant. This personalized communication helps us maintain strong relationships built on trust.
Many clients return to our firm to help reopen claims, address new injuries, or resolve disputes years after their original case closed. They know we stand by them for the long run and offer consistent support whenever challenges arise.
Our firm’s reputation comes from decades of focused workers’ compensation law practice. We have represented thousands of Arizona employees and understand how local employers and insurers handle claims. Our extensive knowledge of Arizona Revised Statutes § 23-901, § 23-908, § 23-1061, and § 23-1044 allows us to apply state law precisely to each situation. Whether calculating disability benefits or addressing employer retaliation concerns, we protect our clients’ rights from start to finish.
