Re: robbed at work

I had a few similar cases like yours. Your case may appear to be a simple "stress' worker's compensation case. However, since your injuries have been caused by a sudden and outragous conduct that can cause long-term trauma as you described, you may have a very high rating of permmanent disability. There are medical experts that suggest that many physical problems such as chronic pains, nausea and etc. can be caused and manifested from a stressful and traumatic situation. I have settled most of these cases very successfully but it requires reports by experts in this field. Call me at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation about your case.
