-Cameron Stenmark
I have had great outcomes with Colbert Cooper Hill Attorneys and Brandy West is the one that I call when I have any questions .
-Shannon Smith
I highly recommend Colbert Cooper Hill Attorneys. I was injured on the job and clueless where to begin. They have been super helpful and understanding. Brandy West ( I'm not sure of the exact job title ) has been amazing. She explains when I dont understand. Without being condescending. This poor woman gets emails and texts from me constantly. Yet she always replies within a reasonable amount of time and with a "virtual" smile
-Krissie Stanton
I was referred to Colbert Cooper Hill by a family member. Ruth Torres has been amazing. She has been such a big help to me. I wouldn’t know what to do without John and Ruth. Ruth answers my emails and calls right away I don’t have to wait. While you’re in pain and you need help you appreciate not having to wait for answers. I just want to say thank you Ruth for all your help.
-Cindy Adams
Cindy is a wonderful and very professional receptionist and a absolute delight. As a businessman myself she gives a great first impression. She could not have made my visit any easier. Mimi helped me with my social security application and I was given my award within 60 days. Mimi and lisa had a wonderful attitude, were very professional and I received service from all three of these young women over and above any expectations I previously had. I highly recommend the entire law firm of Colbert, Cooper and Hill.

-Angie Washburn
I called Colbert Cooper Hill Attorneys after I was denied my claim. They went above and beyond to get my appeal filed and kept in touch with me all the way through. If I had questions all I did was call. If they didn't have an immediate answer they called within 48 hrs to answer my needs. I would highly recommend them from start to finish. Don't wait until you're denied. They are experienced and it shows

If you get hurt at work, but your situation doesn’t align with any of the factors listed below, we still recommend contacting an Oklahoma City workers’ comp attorney to see if you have a case.
However, worker’s comp doesn’t cover certain injuries and accidents. These include but are not limited to:
If you get hurt at work while performing your regular duties, you likely have a case for workers’ compensation. Let’s look at some of the factors our Oklahoma City workers’ comp lawyers will use to review your case.
Every personal injury case, including workers’ compensation, has a time limit called a statute of limitations. For example, in Oklahoma, you must file a workers’ compensation claim within two years from the date of injury or death.
It’s important to discuss your case with an experienced workers’ comp attorney. Colbert Cooper Hill Attorneys will help ensure you don’t miss any critical deadlines. So you can focus on what is most important: Recovering.
If you were on the clock and got hurt performing your routine responsibilities, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation. Let The Wolf Pack™ fight for you.
Workers’ comp claims can be challenging and complex. Fighting your case alone can leave you at a disadvantage, so it’s best to enlist the help of an experienced workers’ comp attorney. Your Oklahoma City workers’ compensation lawyers at The Wolf Pack™ can help you seek benefits you may not even have realized you were eligible to receive. We’ll gather evidence, field calls from insurance companies and defense attorneys, and find additional compensation you may not know you deserve.
Most importantly, we will be your loyal advocate and stand up for your rights. Our Oklahoma City workers’ comp lawyers will stand by you every step of the way, helping you seek the maximum amount for your losses.
Workers’ compensation exists to cover your medical expenses, including doctor’s visits, medical procedures, therapy sessions, medication, and other costs related to treating your illness or injury. They also cover any equipment required to recover, such as a wheelchair or crutches.
Workers’ comp may also provide disability benefits if your injury or illness limits or prevents your ability to work, replacing a portion of your lost wages. They fall into four categories depending on the severity of your condition.
Death benefits cover the dependents of someone who dies on the job. They allow the loved ones the deceased leaves behind to maintain a certain standard of life and may even cover funeral expenses.
As soon as you are injured, immediately notify your employer. They may ask you to answer questions or fill out a form describing the incident and your injuries. Answer as accurately as you can and return any paperwork to your employer as soon as possible. Never wait to report an injury, as it could seriously jeopardize your ability to receive compensation.
You should also seek medical attention for your work-related injury or illness as soon as possible. Always notify your doctor that your injury/illness is related to your job so that they can include an assessment of your capabilities in the workplace. This information can be vitally important later on if your employer’s insurance company contests your claim and you need medical evidence.
Contact a workers’ comp lawyer like The Wolf Pack™, who can smoothly guide you through the claims process and take the necessary steps to ensure you get the maximum compensation for your injuries.
Don’t wait, and don’t go it alone. Let The Wolf Pack™ at Colbert Cooper Hill Attorneys fight for you just like a member of our pack.
You aren’t legally required to have a workers’ comp lawyer, but an experienced lawyer, like Colbert Cooper Hill Attorneys, can give you the best shot of fighting for your benefits. In some cases, insurance companies refuse to pay injured employees the benefits they deserve. So if you have suffered a work-related illness or injury and have trouble obtaining benefits, our attorneys are here to help.
Workers’ comp covers almost every employee in Oklahoma. However, there are rare exceptions. If your employer says you are not covered, contact our experienced workers’ comp lawyers for help.
At first, you must see one of the doctors on a list given to you by your employer. Later you may be able to change doctors. Your workers’ comp attorney will guide you through the proper medical steps while ensuring you receive the highest level of care.
Workers’ comp covers all medical bills and 70% of your average weekly salary; the state sets a maximum limit for workers’ comp that gets adjusted every year. Temporary benefits last for 156 weeks. Permanent benefits last 15 years or until you reach the maximum retirement age, whichever comes first.
If your employer fails to report your injury or your benefits get denied, you may file Form 9 to challenge the denial. However, navigating the appeals process can be difficult and time-consuming. That’s why we always recommend getting help from our team of workers’ comp attorneys.
A surviving spouse and each dependent child can receive a lump sum payment, weekly benefits based on the wages earned by the employee at the time of their death, and funeral costs. However, if the spouse remarries, benefits stop. In addition, when children reach 18 (23 if enrolled full time in college), benefits stop unless they are mentally or physically unable to support themselves.
