Common Employment Law Claims
Attorney Mike Vanasse has experience helping clients identify potential employment law claims. Some common employment law claims include:
- Unemployment benefits: If you became unemployed after a work-related injury, you may be eligible for unemployment and entitled to workers' compensation benefits. However, unemployment benefits may impact the workers' compensation benefits you receive. Attorney Mike Vanasse can help you understand how these benefits overlap and work with you to ensure that you receive the benefits you need.
