Workers' Compensation for Occupational Diseases

For some people working in the same jobs over a long period of time, their duties or the conditions of the work environment can lead to serious health problems. These problems are referred to as occupational diseases.

At the law firm of Zamler, Mellen & Shiffman, we have more than 40 years of experience helping people get workers' compensation for occupational diseases such as mesothelioma or carpal tunnel syndrome. We serve workers in Detroit, Oakland County and the surrounding parts of Michigan.

Types of Occupational Diseases

Occupational diseases can come in many forms. Perhaps the most serious occupational disease is mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos. Our attorneys have extensive experience getting results in these cases.

We can also handle cases involving carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive motion injuries. These injuries develop over time and can impact the back, neck, knees, shoulders and joints. In some circumstances, arthritis is an occupational disease.

Disputes That Arise in Occupational Disease Comp Claims

Because these diseases develop over time, insurance company doctors will frequently point to other causes as the source of the injury. Some doctors may state that a condition like arthritis was caused by activities outside of work. We know how to resolve these disputes.

Results for all Victims of Occupational Diseases

Over the years, we have helped over 150,000 people and recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for our clients. This is a record of success that we have earned by working hard every day to help people like you get fair compensation.

No Fee Unless You Get Compensation

Our guarantee to you: We will get you compensation or you won't be charged one dime.
