Tulsa Workers’ Compensation Attorney

Workplace environments like construction sites, warehouses, and agricultural industries hold inherent dangers; however, workplace accidents can occur even in a plush office environment, where an employee could suffer a fall from tripping over a dangling power cord. Fortunately, all Oklahoma employers with five or more employees are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance as a safety net for employees who suffer injuries that prevent a prompt return to work.
