Worker's compensation helps to protect workers who are
injured on the job by providing mandatory coverage of medical bills and lost
wages. Employers must provide insurance
that covers the expenses that come up when an employee is injured on the
job. Worker's compensation is supposed
to cover all of the expenses that arise because of the injury but do not work
the same as a normal personal injury case in that payments are limited for some damages for which you are entitled, such as pain
and suffering or punitive damages.
It is the law that employers must carry worker's
compensation insurance as part of doing business. Unfortunately, employers don't always carry
the necessary insurance or they dispute the worker's compensation claim,
meaning that attorneys have to become involved.
Many workers believe that they only are entitled to what their employer
or their employer's insurance says they are entitled to when this is not the
case. A worker's compensation attorney
can help you protect your rights by going to court for you and building up
evidence so that you can focus on your recovery. Call and speak to our worker's compensation
