Workers Compensation

If you have been hurt on the job and have lost time from work, the Workers’ Compensation Law will help you with payment of a portion of your lost wages and medical expenses, regardless of a showing of fault.

If you have suffered a partial, permanent disability or disfigurement that prevents you from returning to work, then you may receive additional awards according to a schedule of fixed amounts as set forth at a hearing pursuant to the Workers’ Compensation Law. Legal fees are usually awarded during proceedings or hearings before the Compensation Board and are paid by the insurance company out of the award.

To get these benefits, a timely claim must be filed with your employer.

In cases where a worker is injured on the job as the result of the negligence of a party other than the employer, the worker may also file a third party lawsuit to seek recovery for pain and suffering in addition to receiving Workers’ Compensation benefits.

Since there are deadlines for all cases(statutes of limitations) that restrict the time you have to file your claim, you should talk to a lawyer as soon as possible to protect your legal rights.
