At the McGinn Law Firm, we have experienced lawyers who have the knowledge and expertise in handling disputes with insurance companies. Our lawyers understand insurance policies and what is covered by a particular insurance policy and what is not covered. Attorney Edward F.

- Personal InjuryWorkplace injuries or illness are sometimes caused by the negligence of someone other than your employer. If you are injured by the negligence of a third party during the course of carrying out your job duties, you are entitled to bring a civil lawsuit against that third party to recover for your personal injuries. For example, if you are driving while on the job and another car hits you, you can bring a negligence action against the other driver and sue for damages. Similarly, if you are injured on the job because of a defectively designed or manufactured product, or if a product has inadequate warnings about the use of the product, you may have a claim against the product manufacturer. Our attorneys are experienced in both workers’ compensation and personal injury claims, and can capably handle every aspect of your case, including any third party liability and related civil claims, ensuring that you receive all of the compensation to which you are entitled.
- Social Security DisabilityInjured workers who suffer permanent injuries and disabilities may be eligible to receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits from the U.S. Social Security Administration. Applicants must be able to provide medical certification of their disabilities, including documentation certifying that the employee’s physical or mental disability prevents him or her from performing gainful work for a period of at least 12 months, or will eventually cause death. An injured worker’s dependents may also qualify for SSDI benefits, and workers who have been receiving SSDI benefits for 24 months also become eligible to receive Medicare benefits.
