Testimonials
- A few years ago I was shopping in a large chain store when I slipped in some linseed oil that had been spilled on the floor. I ended up seriously injuring my right shoulder and I eventually needed surgery...
- Robert Nutting - My husband and I were in a serious car accident in which the other driver crossed into our lane and hit us head on. My husband broke his back and I hurt my shoulder so bad that I needed surgery. The first lawyer we hired told us our case was only worth a small amount of money...
- Cheryl H - I came from my home in the United Kingdom to work at a children’s summer camp in northern New Hampshire. Not long after I arrived, I was bitten in the face by a large Akita dog.
- Evie Newbold - Several years ago I was rear-ended while driving and suffered a back injury. The back injury got worse and worse and eventually I was unable to continue working as a landscape architect. Needless to say I was very concerned about my future...
- Rick Kelley - As painful as my injuries and rehabilitation were, I truly did not consider them to be part of the nightmare, because they were, after all, accidents. The actual nightmares were delivered through the callous indifference of insurance companies and the sheer insanity of the Workers Compensation system.

NH Worker Closer to Receiving Disability | Asbestosis Attorney
Posted on May 24, 2009
Georage Gamas worked for Anheuser-Busch in Merrimack for over 20 years. When he became ill and attempted to file for disability benefits he was denied. The New Hampshire Compensation Board*re-do when library added* ruled that Gamas waited too long to file his notice. The board ruled that he should have known that his asbestosis was related to his work and therefore should have filed earlier than he did.
However the New Hampshire Supreme Court is going to allow Gamas to reapply for workers compensation benefits. The court reversed the CABs ruling and has sent the case back for further review.
According to records, Anheuser-Busch had been made aware of Gamas' on the job injury by May 23, 2004, the date the CAB set as a reporting deadline for Gamas. However, a doctor's report had been filed by that date and a few months later a civil suit had been filed by Gamas and his attorney. His deposition indicated that he was suffering from an asbestos related lung condition. The condition was caused by his exposure to asbestos during his employment.
During the civil suit an environmental safety manager admitted that he was "put on notice" of Gamas condition.
