Workers' Comp Victories: Rewriting the Book

Insurance companies have made it so they are benefited by the law. We are working hard to change the law through our justice system so it better protects the injured instead. At MB&A we have been fighting trials for over a decade to positively impact the current laws. With a proven track record of success in trials and negotiations, our reputation has put the insurance companies on notice to respect our clients and their injuries. We will not back down until our clients get the full compensation they deserve.
