Employment Law

• Workers Compensation
  Have you been injured while performing the functions of your job or suffered illness or disease due to exposure to harmful substances at the workplace? If so, there is a high chance that you may be able to file a worker's compensation claim and collect benefits as you recover. The first step to take following an injury is to seek immediate medical treatment. Secondly, you should notify your employer within 30 days of your intent to file a worker's compensation claim. Failing to do so within this time frame may prevent you from receiving benefits.

• Social Security Disability
  Social Security Disability, or SSDI, is an indispensable part of countless Americans’ survival. This federal insurance program allows various benefits to individuals who cannot obtain these benefits through any other means. For someone in need of this aid, suddenly cutting off or never approving these benefits can be life-threatening. Generally, claims are initially denied, delaying the process for those who need assistance as soon as possible. This is why enlisting the services of our legal team at Schneider & Madsen is essential to combat this injustice and help you obtain the benefits you deserve.
• Dog Bites
  You are out for an evening jog in the park or watering the plants in your front yard. All of a sudden, a dog comes out of nowhere and attacks you. You end up with injuries that require medical treatment. Do you know what to do next? Millions of dog bites occur every year in the United States, many of which require medical attention. Sometimes, these attacks are especially brutal, and result in lifelong complications, scarring and disfigurement, and a variety of other problems.
