We will help you recieve the medical attention you deserve.

Frequently, victims of work related injury are unable to choose their own doctor or make decisions in regards to their working capacity.  Even worse, victims of work related injury are susceptible to receiving information that is confusing or even misleading. Situations like these, often result in a substantial loss of rights, effectively diminishing the worker's potential for future compensation. 

Most importantly, our primary focus is on getting our clients the proper health care they deserve.  Our staff works with doctors, nurses, therapists as well as employer's insurance companies to ensure that our clients receive the proper medication and treatment to help them recover from their injuries.

With over thirty years experience in workers’ compensation, personal injury cases and general litigation, Mr. Poisson, Jr., has a in-depth working knowledge of medical and vocational issues. 

You Deserve a Specialist

The North Carolina State Bar has recognized Mr. Poisson, Jr. as a board certified Worker's Compensation Specialist.  The state bar recognizes only those attorneys who have demonstrated special knowledge, skill, and profiency in the area of Worker's Compensation law.  In addition, board certified attorneys are required to attend continuing legal education seminars, which allows Mr. Poisson, Jr. to stay up to date on the latest changes taking place in Worker's Compensation law.  To read more about this go to the NC State Bar's Website: www.nclawspecialists.org.

Workplace injuries often require extensive medical treatment and our staff ensures that clients receive the necessary care.

Many law firms settle workers’ cases prematurely, while years later the injured worker confronts a multitude of problems lacking the proper assistance. Because permanent injury has lifetime effects upon wage earning capacity, it is the philosophy of Poisson, Poisson & Bower that no case should be settled until full and fair compensation is offered and only then if the client has adequate security for future medical needs. In some instances, cases have remained open for over ten years, while the client receives benefits and the insurance companies ask for unfair settlement.  However, our attorneys work diligently to ensure that the victim's rights are protected and the settlement is just. 

Our experience in the field of Worker's compensation law has afforded us with the legal adeptness to handle your case properly and efficiently.  All too often there are instances in which settlement is refused based upon our concern for future medical care for an injured worker. In these cases, our experience tells us that the injured worker required extensive treatment that he or she would have been unable to afford had the case been settled prematurely. Each case is individual and must be treated respectfully in light of the circumstances of each injured worker.

Poisson, Poisson & Bower has four full time legal assistants assigned to provide service to injured workers and to assist Mr. Poisson, Jr. in preparing the cases for settlement, trial or appeal.

The seriousness of injured workers’ issues and the persuasive power of insurance industries requires even the most adept workers’ compensation attorney to invest in the personnel necessary to manage and win these cases.

In addition to being a Board Certified Specialist in workers’ compensation, Mr. Poisson, Jr.  is AV rated as a lawyer that has reached the height of professional excellence and is recognized for the highest levels of skill and integrity by Martindale-Hubbell. He is a member of the Presidents’ Club and Workers’ Rights committee of the North Carolina Academy of Trial lawyers.
