Don't Trust Your Employer or their Insurance Company
If you have been injured in a work-related accident, your employer has the legal responsibility to pay for the medical care you need. To save money, your employer may tell you that your injury is not covered. They may send you to a doctor that they know is likely to give you a low impairment rating.
The only way to really know the truth and protect your rights is to speak with an attorney. We offer a free and informative consultation to discuss your case.
Things You Should Know
If you have been injured on the job, it is important for you to understand that a workers' compensation claim is very different from a personal injury lawsuit. An injured worker seeking workers' compensation benefits does not have to prove that their employer was negligent. Moreover, an employee is not automatically barred from recovery of benefits just because they were negligent themselves.
Other facts you should know include the following:
- You may be covered for injuries sustained during work travel.
- You may be covered for injuries in a work parking lot.
- You may be entitled to a second medical opinion.
- You may be able to receive a lump sum settlement.
We can discuss these and other important matters at your free consultation.
