My husband suffered a serious work injury to his dominant shoulder, an injury severe enough that it ultimately required two surgeries in an attempt to repair the damage. Navigating a workers' compensation claim while dealing with a painful, career-affecting injury is overwhelming enough on its own, and having the right legal team in our corner made all the difference.
We hired Pellegrini, Seeley, Ryan & Blakesley, and worked specifically with Michael Cardaropoli, to help us through every stage of the process — from managing the claim with the insurance company, to fighting to get my husband the medical treatment he actually needed, to ultimately securing a favorable outcome for our family.
From the start, Michael and the team at Pellegrini, Seeley, Ryan & Blakesley were knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in my husband's case. Workers' comp claims can be frustrating — insurance companies don't always make it easy to get approvals for necessary treatment, especially when surgery is involved. Michael pushed hard on our behalf to make sure my husband wasn't denied the care he needed, and he kept us informed and prepared at every step, which took so much of the stress off our shoulders during an already difficult time.
Thanks to their persistence and expertise, we were able to get through two surgeries and reach a resolution we were happy with. I can't recommend Michael Cardaropoli and this firm highly enough to anyone dealing with a workplace injury claim. They treated us like people, not just a case file, and fought for the outcome my husband deserved.
