Do you have a work-related injury? Let us help you get the benefits you deserve.
The only thing worse than being injured is having to worry about paying your bills and injury-related expenses as you recover. If you’ve been hurt on the job, you have a right to file a worker’s compensation claim and receive benefits to help you and your family when you’re unable to work. However, filing a worker’s compensation claim is not an easy process. Getting help from a professional attorney can ensure you are being treated fairly and receiving the maximum benefits for your injury.
What is Workers’ Compensation?
- A workers’ compensation insurance claim is the legal course of action that an injured worker can (and usually must) take in all 50 states. It’s a claim for benefits from an insurance policy that every employer must buy for their employees.
- It’s also a “no-fault” style of insurance, meaning that you will get the benefits no matter who was at fault.
- Many people think that if they file a workers’ compensation claim they are suing their employer. This is simply not true. When you file a workers’ comp claim, you are filing an insurance claim (like health insurance or a homeowners claim). It is not a lawsuit.
- In exchange for buying a workers’ compensation insurance policy, the law protects the employer from being sued by an injured worker. You are not allowed to sue your employer and are limited to a workers’ compensation claim.
Why Hire an Attorney?
You may think it’s not necessary to hire an attorney for your work-related injury. Maybe you feel confident that your employer will be cooperative and your benefits will be paid fairly. That may be true in some situations, but, unfortunately, that is not always the case. Speaking with an experienced attorney can help you:
- Understand your rights as an injured worker, along with the ever-evolving regulations for workers’ comp. An experienced workers’ compensation attorney knows the ins and outs of these changing laws so they can help you get the maximum benefits for your injury.
- Navigate the complex process of filing a claim and ensure your employer understands and adheres to changing laws.
- Protect your rights throughout the entire process, provide invaluable guidance and advocate on your behalf, especially if you’re experiencing financial strain.
- Reduce stress, so you can focus on your recovery.
Think of it this way: you might feel lost in the wilderness, the bureaucratic wilds of the workers’ compensation system, while dealing with the pain of being injured and worried about your monthly bills and obligations. Would you rather have a map to help you find your way out of this wilderness, or a knowledgeable local guide? The Disability Guys can help you find your way out.
