If you are facing any difficulties when pursuing workers’ compensation or think that you will benefit from legal guidance even before you start a claim, then please contact our firm now.

How We Help Injured Workers
When a work accident strikes, it will cause harm and disruption to all facets of
your life. To set things right and get your life back on track, it is important to
receive and utilize as many workers’ comp benefits as possible. Come to our firm,
and we can help you with a number of different case types and concerns.
Related case types that we can handle include:
-
Workers’ compensation: Workers’ compensation is designed to give an injured worker certain benefits without
the requirement of establishing liability for the accident first.
-
Workplace injury claims:
Normally, you cannot file a lawsuit against your employer if you use workers’ comp,
too. In some situations, though, you can get workers’ comp and file a work injury
claim against a third party.
-
Construction site injury claims: Complications often surround construction accident cases, especially when considering
liability. You should trust such a complex case to our firm.
-
Disability benefits: If you cannot return to work due to a permanent disability suffered in your work
accident, then we can discuss how to get disability benefits.
What Workers’ Compensation Benefits Can You Get?
As mentioned, workers’ compensation benefits should help you recover from the aftermath
of a work-related accident. It does this by guaranteeing that you have access to
several benefits, assuming that there is no interference from the insurer or your employer.
Three important benefits of workers’ comp include:
-
Medical care: Full medical care cost coverage is a standard benefit of every workers’ compensation
insurance plan. Even small costs like co-pay amounts must be provided for the worker.
-
Disability pay: You can earn two-thirds of your average pre-injury wages if you cannot return to
work shortly after a workplace accident. If you can never return to work at full
capacity, then you might be able to earn long-term disability benefits, including
disability payments based on the severity and rating of your disability.
-
Retraining: You might be able to get cost-free training courses and certifications if you need
them to hold gainful employment due to a lasting disability. In some cases, a worker
can even be entitled to retraining for a completely new career, not even a job at
their previous employer.
