Workers' compensation is a form of accident insurance paid by employers. There are no payroll deductions that are deducted from the employees' salaries for this insurance. If you are injured on-the-job or acquire a work-related illness, workers’ compensation will pay your medical expenses, and if you cannot work, it will also cover wage-loss compensation until you are able to return to work.

A property assessment appeal is a due process where a taxpayer may initiate if the assessed value of a property cannot be agreed upon with the county assessor. The property assessment appeal process provides for the equalization or the fairness of the assessment of a property's value. I help home and property owners appeal their assessments, when the estimated value of the property, does not accurately reflect what they believe to be its current market value. If you feel that your property has been unfairly assessed by your local government officials, call me at (412) 243-5656 or toll free at 1 (888) 244-9852.
