Workers' Compensation
Worker's Compensation laws vary widely from state to state. Arkansas is no exception. It is challenging to keep up with the changes and nuances in the case law. Our firm can help your business deal with any Arkansas Workers' Compensation claim, whether threatened or filed.
Fraudulent, improper, or exaggerated workers' compensation claims can cost your business time and money. Even legitimate claims can be mitigated and streamlined. The attorneys at the Ryburn Law Firm know that businesses and insurers want to avoid work injuries and claims. However, even the best safety practices and diligent management cannot prevent all claims. Employees, contractors, and even non-employees can make a claim against your business or insured despite your best efforts. When claims occur, your business needs highly experienced representation and counsel. Our firm strives to make the claims process as efficient and painless as possible so that your business can focus on doing what it does best.

Proper investigation can also help to determine entitlement to certain benefits like temporary total disability (paid time off), wage loss, and permanent total disability (impairment).
