Norman, Oklahoma, Workman's Comp Application Attorney

At the Law Offices of Randy Lee Bumgarner, I conduct thorough investigations for my clients and prepare each work comp application as if I am taking it to trial. This allows me to be prepared in negotiations, courtroom litigation and during each step of the workers' compensation filing process.

If you were injured on the job in an accident that arose out of your employment and was in the course and scope of employment, you may have a claim. The first step in the work comp filing process is putting your employer on notice by filing a "form 3." Your employer will then file an employer's first notice of injury form with the court.

There are strict timelines involved with the filing of these forms. If you fail to meet them, your coverage could be denied. I will work side by side with you to ensure your deadlines are met.

Asserting All Claims at Issue With Your Injury in Oklahoma

A "form 9" is filed next by an employee and lists all the items that are at issue in the case. This includes both permanent and temporary disability benefits and other issues, including:

• Medical treatment
• Court-appointed medical examiners
• Change of physicians
• Death benefits
• Rate of pay
• Termination of compensation
• Motions to reopen based on a change of condition

As a seasoned work comp attorney, I know how to raise these issues and more. I am also experienced at workers' compensation mediation hearings, which may be required by the court. Whatever your issue, I will be by your side, protecting your rights.
