Workers’ compensation process
Injured workers always wonder when it is necessary or appropriate to hire a workers' compensation attorney. You
are entitled to rights as an employee who has been injured on the job. The
system allows you to collect a portion of your wages, lost wages for the time
that you were injured and transported to the hospital, compensation for medical
bills, and expenses for retraining if applicable. An employer can deny that you
were in fact injured on the job. In addition, many workers will not report
their injuries, nor will they fight denial of their claim out of fear of losing
their job. Many will fail to report their injury until days or weeks later
because they discovered that the injury is worse than they originally thought.
Many states do allow you to report the injury after a certain time. An
experienced worker’s compensation attorney can investigate the accident and
link it to your work.
Third-party claim
Every year, many employees are injured
by the negligence of someone outside their company or by a defective product. A workers' compensation attorney can file a claim against said party and recover the
appropriate compensation for their clients. Hiring a worker’s compensation
attorney ensures that your claim is accepted and that you will receive all the
benefits that you are entitled to.
