In order to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits, you must be an “employee,” with two limited exceptions. Crewmembers on vessels and interstate railroad workers are ineligible for workers’ compensation benefits. If those types of employees get injured on the job, federal law requires them to sue their employers instead of receiving workers’ compensation benefits. For most other workers, their eligibility for workers’ compensation benefits is based on whether they are employees or independent contractors.
Everybody looks forward to smooth sailing at work but sometimes the ideal situation is blurred by unprecedented workplace injuries. Workplace injury can be minor like a cut to the finger but things can be as serious as broken limbs or decapitation. Usually, your employer should compensate you for any injury that occurs at work but that doesn’t always happen. Some employers do not cooperate with workers who file injury claims and this lack of compassion often leads to loss of many people’s livelihoods. Some employees who dare file claims for workplace injury are usually threatened with termination contrary to the labor laws of many countries. If you have been hurt during work it would be nice to hire a good lawyer to help with the claims for compensation.

Besides physical injuries we also represent people who might have acquired diseases due to their working environment. People often fall sick on the job due to exposure to dust, chemicals and pathogens, calling for several visits to the hospital. We help such clients make claims that will cover medical costs and lost pay due to hospitalization or immobilization.
All our lawyers receive superior training on labor laws to ensure that all clients who come to us are properly represented. We also enlist private investigators to help us uncover more information about your workplace injuries in order to prepare a strong case that will turn things in your favor. We advise our clients to report any injuries to their employers as soon as they happen and follow that by filing claim form which a lawyer assigned to your case will review before filing.

If you receive a work-related injury or illness, immediately report it to your supervisor. If the injury or illness has gradually worsened over time (such as carpal tunnel syndrome), report it as soon as you think it was caused by your job. If you do not report your injury within a certain amount of time — usually within 30 days — you may lose your right to collect the workers’ compensation benefits to which you would otherwise have been entitled.
An injury that occurs while you are traveling to and from your regular place of employment is not generally covered under workers’ compensation. Also, not all injuries that occur during work-related business travel will be covered under workers’ compensation. If, for example, you get injured while sightseeing or doing other non-business related activities during a business trip, that injury will generally not be covered.
The amount of benefits that you are entitled to receive to compensate you for your work-related injury or illness may be limited by the laws of your state. Each state has its own rules for how an injury should be compensated. Some states have a list that affixes a dollar amount for the type of injury. Other states mandate that compensation is based on a scale or rating of injuries or disabilities.
If you suffer a work-related injury or illness, you are probably entitled to receive workers’ compensation benefits. The types of injuries covered by workers’ compensation include physical injuries, illnesses, and some psychological or stress-related injuries. These injuries or illnesses can occur at any time, so long as they are work-related.
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), repetitive strain injuries are the nation’s most common and costly occupational health problem, affecting hundreds of thousands of American workers and costing more than $20 billion a year in workers’ compensation costs. In the past, if an injury didn’t result from an accident, there was no workers’ compensation claim. Those days are gone and now it is understood that cumulative trauma injuries and occupational injuries that develop over time are eligible for workers’ compensation. Even if an injury cannot be tied to a single event, workers’ compensation benefits can be claimed.
