Catherine Silva

Catherine Silva works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless you win. If your case is successful, the attorney's fee is a percentage of your settlement or award — typically 15–25% in Michigan. There are no upfront costs and no fees if you don't recover.

Catherine Silva handles all types of workers' compensation cases in Michigan, including Healthcare Worker Injuries, Needlestick Injuries, Workers Compensation, denied claims, permanent disability ratings, and workers' comp appeals.

In Michigan, you generally must report your injury to your employer within 30 days and file a formal claim within 1–2 years of the injury date. These deadlines are strict — missing them can cost you your benefits. Contact Catherine immediately after any workplace injury.

Yes — claim denials are one of Catherine Silva's specialties. Insurance companies routinely deny valid claims hoping workers won't fight back. With 14 years of experience in Michigan workers' comp law, Catherine knows exactly how to appeal denials and fight for the benefits you're entitled to.

Catherine Silva primarily serves clients in Livonia and the surrounding Michigan area, but handles cases throughout the state. If you're in Michigan and were injured at work, contact Catherine's office for a free consultation regardless of your location.
