About Workers’ Compensation Benefits
Before you can file a claim through your company’s insurance, you must determine whether your injury or illness is covered under workers’ compensation. Workers’ compensation should cover any harm sustained at work, or during work hours. So, if you were driving to a job site in the company car while on-the-clock and became injured in an accident, your injuries could fall under workers’ comp benefits. Likewise, if you were at work and tripped on a loose floorboard, causing you to break your ankle, that injury should be covered by your workers’ compensation benefits.
Is My Injury Covered?
Workers’ comp benefits apply to any injury or illness that occurs while you are working. These benefits can provide compensation for all types of injuries, both minor and major, and can also provide compensation to your family if you are fatally harmed at work.
Some of the many types of accidents and injuries covered under workers' compensation include:
- Work-related motor vehicle accidents
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Toxic chemical exposure
- Occupational illnesses
- Slip and fall injuries
Each case is different, so it is always best to discuss the particulars of your situation with an experienced attorney before moving forward.
What Should I Do If I Have a Claim?
If you believe you have a workers’ compensation case, you need to act fast to file a claim. Though workers are expected to notify their employers of their injury or illness as soon as possible, (reasonably, within a few days of the incident), they may take several weeks in some cases. However, to protect your interests, you should notify your boss immediately, or ask someone else you work with to tell them, and seek medical attention. Call 911, if the situation calls for it, or visit the emergency room, nearest urgent care facility, or schedule an appointment with your doctor.
Once you’ve taken care of your medical needs, contact our attorneys and discuss your legal options. We can help you file the appropriate claim to pursue fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and more. When you trust our firm with your case, you can rest easy knowing we’ll stand up for you and provide you with the attention you deserve.
