“As Avery Crossman handled my case I always felt she was in my corner. She made herself available no matter what my concerns were. She never gave up and never compromised her integrity. She took on my case as if she personally felt my injustice herself. Her compassion and understanding always encouraged me. Her fees were fair. She put many hours in on my case, much more than what was expected, I felt she deserved more, but she would not accept the increase. She is a person of her word.”

Workplace accidents happen. Despite best intentions and careful observance of safety regulations outlined by the Arizona Occupational Safety and Health Act, many workers are seriously injured each year. If you or a loved one has been injured in the workplace, or while working off-site, our Arizona injury law group is here to help guide you through your workers' compensation claim.
The Arizona agency tasked with evaluating workers' compensation claims is the Industrial Commission of Arizona (ICA). It operates through two key divisions: the Claims Division and the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Division.
The Claims Division of the Industrial Commission of Arizona (ICA) supervises workers' compensation insurers within the state, ensuring that employees receive their entitled benefits under Arizona Workers’ Compensation Law. While the personnel within the Claims Division can offer general assistance and address inquiries regarding claim submissions, they are not authorized to provide legal counsel.
Upon receipt of your hearing request, the Claims Division will promptly forward it to the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Division. This division serves as the arena for resolving disputes between employees, employers, and insurance carriers.

In Arizona, the cost of hiring a workers' compensation lawyer varies depending on several factors. Our attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they successfully resolve the workers' compensation claim. If the case escalates to a lawsuit due to disputed fault or complex circumstances, the attorney's fees may adjust accordingly. The fee structure is often regulated by statute to ensure fairness and transparency. Before initiating any legal action, our firm will provide clear notice to the client regarding payment terms and collect necessary information to assess the situation. Their purpose is to alleviate the financial burden for the injured worker while pursuing just compensation for pain and suffering endured. By navigating the intricate forms and legal procedures, our team will take proactive action to safeguard our client's rights and achieve a favorable outcome.
When individuals sustain workplace injuries or illnesses in Phoenix, there is a range of benefits typically available through workers’ compensation. From disability benefits to death benefits, our Arizona injury law group will give guidance through the legal process of your comp case. First and foremost, this includes medical expenses related to the injury or illness in question. All medical expenses are typically covered if the treating physician says they are necessary. This includes: Any emergency room or hospital visits Follow-up doctor visits to their healthcare provider Prescription medications Medical devices Physical therapy or rehabilitation Travel expenses reimbursement to attend medical appointments If a work injury or illness victim is unable to return to the job while they recover, there are various wage loss and disability benefits available - Temporary Total Disability (TTD) - This benefit is provided to workers who have suffered injuries and are temporarily unable to return to work. To be eligible for TTD, a qualified physician must certify that you are fully unable to perform your job. During this period, injured workers receive compensation to help cover their living expenses. Temporary Partial Disability (TPD) - TPD benefits are extended to injured workers who can return to work but are unable to perform all the tasks required for their job due to their injury. To qualify for TPD, a physician must specify the work restrictions and limitations caused by the injury. In such cases, workers receive partial compensation to make up for their reduced earning capacity. Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) - PPD benefits are intended for workers who have sustained permanent injuries but can still work to some extent. These injuries, although permanent, do not render the individual completely unable to work. Compensation is provided based on the nature and severity of the permanent impairment. Permanent Total Disability (PTD) - PTD benefits are granted to workers who have experienced severe injuries that completely incapacitate them, leaving them unable to work in any capacity. These injuries are considered permanent and have a significant and lasting impact on the individual’s ability to work. PTD benefits aim to provide long-term financial support for such individuals.

representative cases
CASE WRONGFULLY CLOSED
Mr. S. was hurt on the job and the injury required back surgery. The insurance company closed his case, without any surgery, and stopped sending him any money. The Crossman Law Offices was able to successfully litigate the matter and got the case reopened. Mr. S. began receiving further medical treatment and bi-weekly checks while he recovered.
CASE WRONGFULLY CLOSED
CLIENT: Larry S.PERMANENT LOST WAGES
The Crossman Law Offices began representing Mr. B. back in 1980, after he was thrown from a dump truck, severely injuring his back. At that time, the insurance company had closed his case stating that he did not a have a permanent impairment even though his doctor said otherwise. The insurance company's position was appealed and not only were we successful in getting Mr. B. a permanent impairment, he was also awarded monthly checks for his lost wages. He received monthly lost wages for 35 years, after which they gave him a lump sum to pay him for the remainder of his life expectancy.
PERMANENT LOST WAGES
CLIENT: Clinton B.CLAIM DENIED
Ms. W. got hurt while working at a fast food restaurant. She hit and dislocated her knee, which required medical treatment. She also missed work because of the injury. The insurance company denied that she had an on-the-job injury. The Crossman Law Offices stepped in and got the videos from the restaurant showing that the accident had occurred on the employer's premises, during the course and scope of our client's work duties. After that, the parties settled out of court for a lump sum settlement.
