We help with Workers' Compensation Matters
Most tribes do not operate their workers' compensation systems under state law. Most choose to be self-administered under tribal law. Most contract with Tribal First to administer claims. You are probably looking at this website because you received a letter from Tribal First denying your claim. We can sometimes help turn that around in your favor.

If you are already working with an advocate, but he or she is not licensed to practice under the tribe's jurisdictional laws, we can associate with your advocate and work together for your benefit.
