On the Job Accident FAQ
In some industries, on the job accidents are more common than others.
For example:
It’s more likely that a construction worker may be involved in an accident in the workplace than someone who has a job in an office. However, accidents can truly occur anywhere, and if you or a loved one were injured in an accident at work, you may be eligible for financial compensation.
Here are answers to your most frequently asked questions about workplace injuries:
Will I Get Workers’ Compensation?
Although workers’ compensation is designed to provide financial restitution for the medical expenses and lost wages of an employee who was hurt at work, not all employees are approved for benefits.
For example, employees who were found to test positive for drugs at the time of the accident or an employee whose original accident report doesn’t match his or her medical records may be denied workers’ compensation. By working with a seasoned workplace injury lawyer, you can determine whether you are eligible for workers’ comp benefits given the individual circumstances of your case.
We do not offer assistance in worker's compensation claims, but can help you in the event your injury occurred due to negligence.
Can I get damages for pain and suffering for a workplace accident?
Many people are surprised to find that workers’ compensation benefits provide very basic coverage for work-related injuries.
Some medical expenses may not be covered, especially if the employee saw a doctor that has not been approved by the employer. In some cases of temporary or permanent disability, the financial impact of the accident and resulting injuries far outweighs what workers’ compensation could reimburse to injured employees. In these cases, it may be beneficial to the employee to explore the possibility of a personal injury lawsuit.
