Workers' Compensation
State laws require your employer or their insurance company to compensate you and your family for injuries or death that occur while you are working. You may be entitled to:
- Weekly benefits while you are temporarily totally disabled and unable to work.
- The payment of your medical expenses.
- Weekly payments or a lump sum payment for partial or total disability resulting from a work-related injury.
What should I do if I am injured?
Report the injury to your employer immediately. If you cannot reach an agreement with your employer or their insurance carrier concerning what benefits or medical expense payments you are entitled to, you can file your claim with the Industrial Commission of your state. The comission is usually the court system set up to deal with workers' compensation claims.
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury, illness or death related to the workplace, call VanDerGinst Law at 1-866-843-7367 or click here for a FREE online case evaluation. The initial consultation is free of charge. If we agree to handle your injury case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if, and when, there is a money recovery for you. In many cases a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. So please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
