If you’ve been injured at work in Tahlequah or anywhere in Cherokee County, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. At Tahlequah Lawyers, we help injured workers navigate Oklahoma’s complex workers’ comp system and fight to secure the medical treatment and wage replacement they need. You don’t have to go through this alone. Our experienced attorneys have handled hundreds of workers’ compensation cases and know how to protect your rights every step of the way.
What Is Workers’ Compensation?
Workers’ compensation is a system designed to provide financial support and medical care to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. Under Oklahoma law, most employers must carry workers’ compensation insurance. If you are hurt while doing your job—even if it was your fault—you may qualify for benefits.
These benefits can include:
Medical treatment
Weekly wage replacement while you’re off work
Permanent disability compensation
Vocational rehabilitation
Death benefits for surviving family members
Common Work Injuries in Oklahoma
We represent clients with all types of on-the-job injuries, including:
Back and neck injuries
Repetitive motion injuries (carpal tunnel, tendonitis)
Broken bones
Head and brain trauma
Burn injuries
Occupational illnesses (exposure to chemicals or toxic substances)
If your injury happened while you were working—even if you were off-site or driving—you may be covered.
Why You Need a Workers’ Comp Lawyer
Insurance companies don’t always play fair. They may deny valid claims, delay medical care, or push for a quick settlement that doesn’t fully cover your injuries. Our Tahlequah workers’ compensation attorneys know how to stand up to these tactics.
We will:
File and manage your claim
Fight denied claims or delayed treatment
Negotiate fair settlement offers
Represent you at hearings before the Oklahoma Workers’ Compensation Commission
You focus on healing—we’ll handle the rest.
Don’t Wait – Time Limits Apply
You must report your injury to your employer within 30 days and file a workers’ comp claim within two years. Missing a deadline can mean losing your right to benefits. Contact us as soon as possible after your injury to protect your claim.
