What is Worker’s Compensation?

Injuries that occur in the workplace or even if they are work related, will likely fall into the workers compensation system. More specifically, when there is an accumulative medical condition due to occupation such as carpal tunnel syndrome, back and neck pain, exposure to toxic fumes, slip and fall incidents, psychological injuries, violent incidents at work, and many others our law office can help guide you through this process. It is also important to note that some injuries occur over time and some injuries can occur in a split second, both of these types of injuries fall into the workman’s compensation system. 

If you get injured at work it is important to report the injury. To put the insurance company and employer on notice that the injury has occurred.  If you give us a call we can rather do this for you or you can do this yourself right when it happens or shortly afterward. Be sure to specifically state all aspects of your injury. 

There are myths in the worker’s compensation system. Such as the ability of an employer to fire or retaliate against you for your claim. Give us a call if this occurs we would be happy to assist you.
