• Slip and fall accidents
• Trip and fall accidents
• Falling object incidents
• Equipment incidents
• Cart incidents

• Truck incidents

These incidents can potentially lead to a number of injuries, including but not limited to some of the following: head injuries; traumatic brain injuries; neck injuries; back injuries; spinal cord injuries; fractures; crushing injuries; joint injuries; lacerations; amputations. Regardless of the harm that you or a member of your family suffered in a workplace incident, you could be eligible to pursue a workplace compensation claim. If your claim is approved, you could be eligible to receive a number of benefits.

About Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ compensation is a type of insurance that is available for employees who suffer workplace injuries (or work-related injuries). Employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance (with very few exceptions) that would cover their employees in case of incidents. Workers’ compensation insurance covers all sorts of injuries, including but not limited to repetitive motion injuries, sprains, and fractures – essentially any injury that occurs at a workplace.

Based on the details surrounding the workplace incident, the harm suffered, and whether the claim is approved, injured employees could be eligible to recover some of the following benefits:

• Medical costs
• Temporary disability
• Permanent disability
• Supplemental job displacement benefits
• Death benefits

Are you entitled to receive any of the benefits listed above? To find out, you must pursue your workers’ compensation claim with your employer.

Filing Your Workers’ Comp Claim

Did you suffer a workplace injury? If so, you could be eligible to file a workers’ compensation claim. The most important thing to do is to report the incident immediately to your employer. Your employer should provide you with the forms that you can fill and return to start the workers’ comp process. You will need to provide your employer with information regarding the injury – including the date/time that the injury was sustained, the type of injury, and how the injury occurred. You should expect to be sent to your employer’s doctor, even if you have already sought medical care elsewhere. After returning the forms, you should expect to wait a bit before hearing back about whether your claim was approved or denied. During this time, the employer should file the claim with their insurer to ensure that the claim is processed. If your claim is approved, you will receive your benefits soon after. If your claim is denied, your employer should provide you with information on appealing.

The workers’ comp process is designed to be simple. Unfortunately, both employers and insurance companies can significantly complicate the process, making it difficult and sometimes impossible for injured employees (and their families) to receive their benefits. How can employers and insurance companies complicate the process? Employers and insurance companies can do some of the following:

• Make accusations of false claims (or that the injuries sustained are not related to the workplace)
• Fail to submit necessary forms quickly
• Ignore important deadlines or fail to inform claimants of such deadlines
• Fail to provide claimants with the necessary guidance/information

When employers and/or insurance companies appear to be working against you during the workers’ compensation process, the best thing that you could do is to seek legal assistance. By hiring a workers’ compensation lawyer, you are ensuring that your employer and the insurance company take your claim seriously. Additionally, you are ensuring that you get the benefits that you deserve.

What if your employer or the insurance company still refuse to provide you with workers’ comp benefits? You might have to pursue a lawsuit for bad faith.
