Our Approach

How We Helped

The Workers’ Compensation Judge agreed with Attorney Gough and awarded significant monetary penalties and attorney fees against the Insurance Carrier for their violations of the Workers’ Compensation Act. Faced with having to pay addition penalties of up to fifty percent, the insurance company agreed to pay penalties and settle the case for a significant lump sum.
