Federal and state workers’ compensation laws have been put in place as a means of providing a worker who is hurt on the job with a fixed income. Thanks to workers’ compensation laws, an employee hurt on the job does not have to go through the hassle of litigation. Overall, it’s a much smoother process for the employee. It also helps the employer by controlling the financial risk. Many states put a limit on the amount of money an injured worker can receive from an employer.
To an employer, workers’ compensation is basically insurance – it’s required by law to have in case an employee is hurt on company property. Workers’ compensation also relates to an illness due to the surrounding circumstances of a person’s job, if they become temporarily or permanently disabled because of their injuries or if it results in death. In fact, all 50 states have a law in place that states if a company has four or more part-time or full-time employees, they must have workers’ compensation insurance.
If you were hospitalized as an in-patient, not able to work a certain number of days on the job or have become permanently disabled because of an injury or illness that was job-related, you could receive additional income. Your lawyer knows that workers’ compensation laws vary from state to state, but that general medical care can include surgical, medical and hospital services, physical therapy, crutches, chiropractic treatment and prescribed medications. And you have the right to receive appropriate medical treatment at the employer’s expense while you are recovering from your injuries.
Why Should I Hire a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer?
Remember that while you may be on the fence about hiring a lawyer, your employer and their insurance companies already have lawyers in place to work against you. While you are the one that was injured, they are trying to protect their best interest, not yours! That’s why hiring an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer is critical.
