Here’s the good news: If you’ve been injured on the job, you may be eligible for Worker’s Compensation (WC). WC is a benefit that will pay for reasonable and necessary medical care if you have experienced a work-related injury or illness. In 2007, the laws governing workers’ compensation were positively changed to help injured workers. Now, individuals who are injured at work can receive compensation equal to up to two-thirds of their average weekly wage – and the best part is that it’s tax-free. This financial relief is designed to provide crucial support during your recovery period, allowing you to focus on healing without the added burden of worrying about paying your bills and making ends meet.
Now, for the not-so-good news: Filing for workers’ compensation benefits can be very challenging, especially if your income includes elements like tips, bonuses, or commission. These factors can complicate the calculation of your benefits, making it essential to understand where you stand financially.
Don’t Worry, You’re Not Alone
Because the process can be so complicated, getting guidance from an experienced attorney can be invaluable. A knowledgeable attorney can help you unravel an often tangled and complex process, ensuring that you make informed decisions about your financial well-being.
Suffering a workplace injury can have far-reaching consequences, not just for you but also for your family. While workers’ compensation benefits may provide some financial stability, you must also consider the ongoing costs of medical treatments and their impact on your finances. To gain a clear understanding of what lies ahead, it is crucial to consult with an experienced attorney from our team. We can help you set realistic expectations and guide you through the steps that follow. In fact, we’re here to assist you every step of the way.
