Each case is different with regard to degree of injury and who is responsible for the injury. If the accident happened on a sidewalk, the city may be responsible. If the accident happened in a business, the business is likely responsible. As each case is so unique, it is necessary to review your case to evaluate what can be done about a claim.

I have been paid cash off the books and got injured. Is there any way to make a claim for the injury?
Yes. Just because you were paid off the books does not mean you do not have the right make a claim. You may be told that this is so, but in fact, you need the help of an attorney from Katz, Leidman, Grossman, Wolfe & Freund if you want to determine how to move forward with making a claim.
Can't I get monetary compensation without a lawyer?
You can try, and in some cases, people do. The question is really whether it will actually be the amount that you could have received when you have legal representation. In many cases of workers compensation, an individual accepts a quick "settlement" and later discovers that they could have gotten much more than they accepted. Once you accept a settlement it usually means that you lose the right to go back and change the cash settlement. You signed papers that include waiving the right to further claims. Some accidents cause injuries that only become evident later, and now you don't have the finances to get the needed medical care.
