Best Workers compensation lawyer

Work injury refers to all injuries, illnesses and consequential damages resulting from work-related activities. Workers Compensation, on the other hand, is a law-required Insurance Coverage that pays benefits to workers who get hurt on the job or die. Worker’s Compensation is a NO FAULT Insurance Coverage. This means, workers are entitled to compensation, even if their own negligence caused their injuries. Worker’s Compensation covers full time, part time, seasonal and undocumented workers. It may even cover some people who are labeled independent contractors. Some employers misclassify their employees as independent contractors either by mistake or in order to avoid paying for their worker’s compensation insurance.

COULD ANYONE ELSE BE LIABLE FOR MY WORK INJURIES AND DAMAGES?

Yes. When it comes to Work Injuries, there could be more than one way of obtaining just compensation. In other words, Workers’ Compensation may not be your only route to what is rightfully owed to you — particularly in a case where your workplace injury was caused by the negligence or defective product of a third party. The other person and/or entity may be directly or indirectly responsible for your injuries and damages. For instance, you are driving a delivery truck for a living. A careless driver slams into you causing you severe injuries. You are, of course, entitled to prompt medical treatment and other Work Comp benefits because you were injured while working. The Negligent driver is also liable for your injuries and damages under Tort Law, which could be far more than what Work Comp would pay. This type of cases is referred to as Hybrid. This is why you should always consult with a capable, credible and compassionate Chosen Lawyer right away. It will cost you nothing to know your rights and responsibilities right away. Please remember, when it comes to injuries, what you don’t know can become an insult to your injuries.
