Worker’s Comp
Job-related injury or illness
Worker’s Compensation law is a system of state-mandated rules designed to provide compensation to working people who suffer from a job-related injury or illness. Workers’ Compensation provides employee’s the ability to recover lost wages, medical expenses, and rehabilitation costs. Each state has its own program requirements for compensation. The Workers Compensation system is managed by the state and funded by employer’s contributions to the system. Federal Government employees also have access to coverage under similar programs.
Hiring an Attorney Can Help
The best way to protect your rights while dealing with a job-related injury or illness claim is to retain a lawyer who specializes in Workers Comp law. Dealing with an on-the-job injury or illness can be a very emotional process for you – while you will also likely be dealing with the consequences of the injury or illness, loss of wages from being unable to work, medical bills, and other complications.
In addition, your employer will need to protect itself during legal proceedings, and so your employer may not be able to help you in ways you expect, or an employer may be bound to laws to restrict communication about the situation.
