WORKERS COMPENSATION
Workers Compensation
Workers’ compensation
cases are exactly how they sound. That is if someone is hurt on the job whether it is their fault or not, they are entitled to coverage through their employer. The employer can pick or choose the doctor but the employer pays for it.
In addition, if the worker is out of work a sufficient number of days, the employer has to pay them their compensation rate which is a weekly check consisting of two-thirds of their average weekly wage up to a maximum amount depending on which state the claim is made in.
It is very important that a workers’ compensation claim is filed within one year or two years again depending on the state. There are several limitations involved in claiming benefits so it is very important to seek the advice of counsel.
