I've written a new book to help people who have been injured on the job. My goal is help people navigate the "dangerous waters" of the Kentucky Workers Compensation system. You can request your copy for FREE through my website at www.frankjenkinslaw.com
Getting hurt on the job is a terrible experience, and when you combine that with the possibility of losing your job, it can get really scary, really fast. That's why I wrote 8 Mistakes that can Destroy your Workers Compensation Claim, and how to avoid making them.
Don't be taken advantage of by the workers comp insurance company. Keep in mind that they are NOT on your side, they are on the company's side!
My book is packed with tips and information that can help you when you've been hurt on the job. Then after reading the book, if you have questions about your case, fee free to call us. We'll talk to you for free about your case, with no arm-twisting or pressure. In the Lexington area, call 859-389-9344. Or Toll Free from anywhere in Kentucky to 1-800 WORKERS (967-5377)
We look forward to hearing from you.

Another Win for Kentucky Workers!
I believe that when a lawyer takes a case, he should be willing to take it all the way. Sometimes that means all the way to the Kentucky Supreme Court.
We were hired by a nice lady who was injured at the American Greetings factory. She tried to get lost wage and medical benefits, but American Greetings and their workers compensation insurance carrier refused to pay her one dime. They claimed that the injury did not "arise out of her employment".
We argued that the insurance company should be ordered to pay what they owe. Unfortunately, the original judge on the case sided with the insurance company, and dismissed our lady's case. We thought that was totally wrong, so we appealed to the Kentucky Workers Compensation Board, and we won.
But the insurance company still refused to pay! Their lawyer appealed to the Kentucky Court of Appeals, so we had to keep on fighting, and we won. But the insurance company lawyer appealed again! This time to the Kentucky Supreme Court.
We kept on fighting for our client, and we won.
If you read the opinion, it will show you just how hard insurance companies are willing to fight in order to NOT PAY BENEFITS to injured workers. Get on the internet and check out:
