Most of us can remember the " David & Goliath " story from our School days and when a person gets hurt or injured at work we suddenly become that David. The employer is in no hurry to pay your work comp claim, and you can bet they have an attorney to help them. If you think you can do battle with the employer and their team of expert work comp attorneys on your own, then you just made your first big mistake.

My relationship with Rich Schubert started nearly 30 years ago after I was hurt at work. It didn't take long for me to find out that I had my own '' Goliath '' on my side. My injury was serious and required several operations over many years, making the cost of my claim huge. Rich Schubert and his firm took the fight right to the employer, they dug in and never quit.

They (Alpern Schubert) believe in fighting for the little guy, the injured worker and they love taking down the big company - the same company that won't pay you for your work injury. When you have Alpern Schubert on your team it sends a message to the employer and they ask themselves - do we really want to go up against one of the best work comp attorneys in the state?

My advice to you when you do hire Alpern Schubert - do everything you are told, listen to them, be honest with them and remember, they are working hard to get you what you deserve. It's not often that you can hire the best to represent you for a legal matter but for a work injury or even a personal injury you can hire the best - Alpern Schubert.

After nearly 30 years I still have issues that come up with my medical treatment or other claim related problems. I take comfort in knowing that Alpern Schubert is just a phone call away.

Rich Schubert and his team are the best at what they do, it's just that simple. Do the smart thing and let them work for you. They do care about what happens to you and your comp claim.
