As local lawyers, we know Louisiana’s laws inside and out. Whether you’re filing a work injury claim or intend to file a lawsuit for denial of benefits, you’ll be in capable hands.

We Know What to Expect From Employers and Insurance Companies

Before founding Wanko Workers' Comp Lawyers, Mr. Wanko spent his early career defending insurance companies and large businesses. He knows how the other side operates and continuously leverages his “insider knowledge” to give his work injury clients a distinct advantage.

Louisiana Workers' Compensation Claims
Will My Injury Be Covered?

Workers’ compensation covers both mental and physical injuries and occupational diseases.

Under Louisiana law, an accident refers to anything that is unexpected, unforeseen and occurs suddenly or violently – producing an injury.

The injury:

  • may or may not produce a disabling condition
  • may allow you to still work
  • may take you out of work

Generally, your compensation will not be affected depending upon who was at fault for the accident.

An occupational disease or illness is covered if it is the direct result of exposure to hazardous or toxic materials in the workplace. If you work in Louisiana’s oil and gas or chemical and petrochemical industries, you are at a greater risk to develop serious health conditions.

Common injuries suffered on the job include, but are not limited to:

  • Broken bones
