From the high seas to high-stakes advocacy for injured workers.
Chase Injury Law was built for injured workers who need clear answers, direct attorney attention, and someone willing to push back when the insurance company delays, denies, or ignores what they need.
A different path to becoming a workers’ compensation lawyer.
Michelle Chase did not take a traditional path to the law. Before becoming an attorney, she worked as an officer aboard tankers in Asia and along the West Coast of the United States, including ships delivering jet fuel for the U.S. Military.
That experience shaped the way she works today: prepared, practical, disciplined, and steady under pressure.
After her maritime career, Michelle attended Florida International University College of Law and began her legal career as a prosecutor for the State of Florida. In that role, she gained courtroom experience, learned how to evaluate evidence, and developed the foundation for a litigation-focused practice.
Today, Michelle uses that background to help injured workers navigate a system that can feel confusing, frustrating, and unfair.
She eventually transitioned into claimant-side workers’ compensation because she wanted to focus her practice on helping working people protect their health, income, and stability after a workplace injury.
At Chase Injury Law, clients are not treated like file numbers. They receive direct attorney attention, clear communication, and a legal strategy focused on protecting their benefits and helping them move forward.
Before becoming an attorney, Michelle worked as an officer aboard tankers, including vessels delivering jet fuel for the U.S. Military.
Experience that shaped the advocate she became.
Working aboard tankers required preparation, judgment, accountability, and calm decision-making under pressure.
Those same qualities matter in workers’ compensation cases. When an injured worker is waiting for treatment, missing paychecks, or being pressured by the insurance company, the details matter. The record matters. Strategy matters.
Michelle brings a practical, disciplined approach to every case, with a focus on helping injured workers understand the system and protect their benefits.
Prepared, practical, and ready to push back.
Michelle’s background is not just part of her story. It shapes how Chase Injury Law approaches workers’ compensation cases today.
Calm under pressure
High-pressure work taught Michelle the importance of staying steady, focused, and prepared when a situation becomes difficult.
Evidence-focused
Prosecutorial experience shaped the way Michelle evaluates records, testimony, timelines, and the details that can affect a claim.
Built for litigation
Workers’ compensation cases require strategy long before a hearing. Preparation matters from the beginning.
Focused on injured workers
Chase Injury Law represents injured workers, not insurance companies, and approaches each case with the client’s health, income, and future in mind.
Because a work injury can affect every part of your life.
A work injury is rarely just about one medical appointment or one missed paycheck. It can affect your health, your income, your family, your confidence, and your sense of security.
That is why Chase Injury Law approaches every case with both compassion and preparation. The goal is not just to answer questions. The goal is to help injured workers understand the system, protect their rights, and make informed decisions about what comes next.
If the insurance company is delaying care, denying benefits, cutting off checks, or pressuring you to return to work before you are ready, you do not have to handle it alone.
Compassionate with clients. Strategic with insurance companies.
Injured workers need more than sympathy. They need a lawyer who listens, explains the process clearly, protects the record, and knows how to push back when benefits are delayed or denied.
Clear communication
You deserve to understand what is happening in your case and what your options are.
Direct attorney attention
Your case should not disappear into a system where you cannot get answers.
Real strategy
Workers’ compensation requires more than blind trust in the insurance company, adjuster, or nurse case manager.
Relentless advocacy
When benefits are delayed, denied, or cut off, your lawyer should be ready to act.
