Early Intervention Works
Early legal assistance is one of the most important steps that you can take following a workplace accident. Many workers believe that their only right to compensation is through the workers’ compensation policy of their employer. Workers’ compensation is usually the first source of financial assistance, but there are some situations in which you may have more rights than workers’ compensation.
Early Legal Advice is Crucial
- Avoid Making Mistakes Navigating through the workers’ compensation system alone can result in costly mistakes. A skilled attorney can help avoid these pitfalls, and make sure that your claim is handled properly from the beginning.
- Maximize compensation: Your workers’ compensation benefits might not cover your entire expenses, particularly if you have suffered a severe injury. A lawyer can help you investigate other compensation options, such as suing in cases of unsafe work conditions.
- Peace Of Mind: By knowing that an experienced professional will handle your case, you can focus on recovering from your injury rather than worrying about legalities.
Understanding Your Rights
Workers’ Compensation
Workers’ compensation provides you with benefits and money if you are injured at work. These benefits include:
- Medical Expenses : Coverage of medical expenses related to your injury.
- Compensation for Lost Income: Compensation due to inability to work.
- Disability Benefits : Payments to compensate for permanent or temporary disabilities caused by your injury.
Workers’ compensation does have its limits. Often, it does not cover future medical costs, lost wages, or pain and suffering. It also does not cover punitive damages when employers maintain unsafe working conditions.
Litigation for Damages
You may be entitled to additional damages if you sue your employer, or even a third-party. It is particularly relevant if the injury was caused due to negligence or a violation in safety regulations. You can receive compensation by suing for damages for:
- Compensation for Pain and Suffering : Compensation for physical and emotional suffering caused by an injury.
- Future Medical Costs: Coverage of ongoing medical treatment, rehabilitation and other related costs.
- Punitive damages: Additional compensation meant to punish an employer for unsafe work conditions.
