Re: workers comp/sexual assault

I believe the proposed settlement is too low. Are you sure company's attorney are representing her? because that would be a conflict of interest. She needs an experienced and an independent worker's compensation attorney to properly represent her. The settlement amount generally are based on findings of neutral doctors. Call us at 213.388.7070 to discuss her case.
