Workers’ Compensation Claim

I fell from a ladder at a construction site while working, and broke my big toe. The break was so significant that it required surgery. I am aware that I am entitled to receive workers’ compensation claims, but don’t know what they cover. It will be great to get an idea of this.

You may be entitled to the following:
·         All medical bills, prescriptions and travel to the hospital
·         Should your injury compel you to take time away from work, you may be entitled to a temporary disability payment. Under this, you will be entitled to receive partial compensation for wages you have lost.
·         If your injury is very serious and you can’t completely recover from it, you may be entitled to a monetary award.
·         If your injury prevents you from returning to your previous job, you may be entitled to assistance to get another job.

  2. I was working at a construction site. Due to the hot weather, I got dehydrated and fell down. I had to be hospitalized. Will I get workers compensation for my injury and medical bills?

    1. Workers’ Compensation covers medical expenses and lost wages for an employee’s job-related injury or illness, even if the employee is at fault for his or her own injuries.

  3. My husband injured himself at his work place because of faulty equipment. However, the Workers’ Compensation Insurance Company has turned a deaf ear to our claims. Can you suggest a way to help us pursue our claim?

    1. Unfortunately, many workers who are injured on the job fail to collect the compensation they are entitled to or give up because of the resistance they get from the Workers’ Compensation Insurance Company. Just because the Workers’ Compensation system is frustrating, it does not mean you should not pursue your claim. Ganim Injury Lawyers can alleviate most of the frustration you have encountered. Keep in mind that your benefits can be lost forever if you do not file your claim on time. Contact them right away.
