Kentucky Workers' Compensation Attorney
Are You Permanently or Temporarily Disabled?
Most employers in Kentucky are required to provide employees with insurance coverage in the event of a work-related injury. If you have been injured while at work, you can be protected under workers' compensation laws. These protections entitle you to receive the financial assistance needed to compensate for various medical expenses and loss of wages, regardless of who is to blame.
At Kirk & Crum, PLLC, we believe in upholding the rights of injured workers. Our Kentucky workers’ compensation attorneys can work hard to pursue the highest level of protection and benefits available.
If you were injured while at work, do not permanently lose your right to seek the benefits to which you are entitled. Call (606) 249-9544 to find out how we can help you.

Your Claim Could Be Time-Sensitive
If you are seeking a workers' compensation claim, you must notify your employer of your injury or illness within 120 days. If your claim is denied, then you may have up to 3 years from the date of the injury to file for a Claim Petition and a hearing. Because these claims are time-sensitive, it is important to consult a skilled Kentucky workers' compensation lawyer. We have handled many workers' comp claims and can help you through every stage of the process swiftly and efficiently.
We Work Hard So You Can Get Back to Work!
If you’ve been injured, do not trust your insurance company or the healthcare provider that represents your workplace. More often than not, they will try to force you to settle for compensation that is far less than what you are actually eligible to receive. We can help direct you down a path that maximizes your compensation so you can get the proper medical treatment needed to recover quickly.
