Why Crossman Law Offices?

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.

How a Phoenix Workers’ Comp Attorney Can Help

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.

How Much Does an Arizona Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Cost?

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.

Benefits Available for a Phoenix Workers’ Compensation Claim

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:

  • Medical Care: Full coverage for necessary treatment, including doctor visits, emergency care, surgeries, physical therapy, and prescription medications. Arizona law ensures injured workers can choose an appropriate medical provider, and our office coordinates closely with doctors to secure complete documentation for your claim.
  • Temporary Disability Benefits: Partial wage replacement during recovery when you cannot perform your regular work duties. We help calculate these benefits correctly so that your payments reflect your actual earnings, including overtime or additional compensation.
  • Permanent Disability Benefits: Compensation for lasting injuries or impairments that limit your ability to work in the future. This category can include scheduled and unscheduled injuries under Arizona law, and we work to ensure your level of impairment is accurately assessed.
  • Death Benefits: Financial support for dependents when a workplace injury results in loss of life, including funeral costs and continued wage support for family members.
  • Vocational Rehabilitation and Reemployment Support: Assistance with retraining or transitioning into new work if your injury prevents you from returning to your previous job.

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.

Acute traumatic injuries are not the only type of harm a person can sustain in the workplace. In addition to the injuries mentioned above, we must also remain cognizant of repetitive motion injuries and occupational diseases.

  • Repetitive motion injuries.These are often referred to as repetitive strain injuries or repetitive stress injuries, and they affect muscles, tendons, and nerves by repetitive motions or constant use. These types of injuries are common in the fingers and thumbs, wrists, elbows, arms, shoulders, and knees. Perhaps the most well-known repetitive stress injury is carpal tunnel syndrome, but others certainly affect individuals and can become detrimental to workplace activities.
  • Occupational illnesses. Various types of occupational illnesses or diseases can affect workers over a longer period of time due to exposure in the workplace. This can include exposure to harsh elements, chemicals, and overall environments. Some types of occupational illnesses that can affect workers include respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, occupational cancers, mental health disorders, hearing and vision loss, tinnitus, and more.

Our Phoenix workers' compensation attorney will adeptly leverage compelling evidence to assert their client's rights within the tight deadline, securing a favorable result. Through diligent advocacy on behalf of the client, they will demonstrate the damages incurred due to employment-related injuries, providing comprehensive compensation for their services.

Frequently Asked Questions

At 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:

Are All Employees Covered By Workers’ Comp in Arizona?

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.

If I Get Injured at Work, Do I Get Paid?

Yes. Injured workers are entitled to medical care and partial wage replacement. Benefits may include:

  • Temporary Total Disability (TTD) occurs when you can’t work during recovery.
  • Temporary Partial Disability (TPD) occurs when you can work part-time or with restrictions.
  • Permanent Partial (PPD) or Permanent Total Disability (PTD) for long-term or total impairments.

We ensure that your payments are accurate and on time. We swiftly enforce your rights if the insurance company delays or denies your claim.

What Should I Do After Being Hurt on the Job in Phoenix?

Act quickly. According to Arizona Revised Statutes § 23-908, employers and doctors must report workplace injuries to the Industrial Commission of Arizona. You should:

  1. Report the injury immediately.
  2. Seek prompt medical attention.
  3. Tell your doctor it happened at work.
  4. Keep copies of every document and medical note.

We help ensure these steps are completed correctly so benefits aren’t delayed.

How Long Do I Have to File a Workers’ Comp Claim?

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.

What Wage Benefits Are Available if I’m Injured at Work in Arizona?

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.

How to File a Workers’ Compensation Claim in Arizona

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.

More About Workers’ Compensation Benefits

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:

  • Vocational Rehabilitation: Helps workers learn new skills or transition into a different line of work if they cannot return to their prior role.
  • Mileage Reimbursement: Covers travel to and from authorized medical appointments.
  • Ongoing Medical Care: Ensures that long-term conditions are treated even after the initial claim period.
  • Reopening Benefits: If your injury worsens or new symptoms appear later, you can reopen your case for additional compensation.
    We ensure you understand each option and take steps to secure every benefit you’re entitled to.

Local Focus on Phoenix Industries

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.

Guidance on Filing and Appeals

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.

The Value of Experienced Legal Representation

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.

Commitment to Every Client

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.

Dedicated to Protecting Phoenix’s Workforce

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.

At Crossman Law Offices, we believe every injured worker in Phoenix deserves to feel secure and supported. We combine legal expertise with a personal touch that clients appreciate, ensuring they never face this process alone.
