Workplace Injury

Every year many people are victims of workplace injury. Victims with personal injury claims arising from workplace injury may be entitled to compensation and other benefits. Workers' compensation is insurance paid by employers which provides cash benefits and medical care if an employee becomes disabled due to workplace injuries, regardless of fault. A Lancaster workplace injury lawyer should be called in if you've suffered a workplace injury. A trained workplace accident attorney will make sure that you understand what kind of benefits you might receive under the applicable workers' compensation insurance policy. Your employer (who is required to carry the compensation insurance coverage) should give you a workers' compensation claim form to complete. When you are injured on the job, you are entitled to have the costs of your medical care covered by your employer. The treatment may include consultations, physical therapy, surgery, hospitalization, drug treatment, nursing care, as well as physical and vocational rehabilitation services. You may also be entitled to lost wages, and you may be entitled to recover damages against responsible parties for pain and suffering as well.

In some instances, legitimate personal injury cases can be denied claims by aggressive compensation carriers. An insurer can claim that you haven't been injured, or that the injury you've suffered isn't serious enough to qualify for workers' compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits, such as medical care coverage, financial help and job retraining.
