Workers’ Compensation
For most injured workers, the first source of compensation is Workers’ Compensation. The great thing about Workers’ Compensation is that benefits can come quickly, and you do not need to prove fault to receive them. You medical care is covered and you can receive of portion of your lost wages without the need for a lawsuit. A Workers’ Compensation claim is an insurance claim.
The downside to Workers’ Compensation is that the benefits are very limited and will not cover all of your needs and losses. And, if you are eligible for Workers’ Compensation benefits you cannot sue your employer for the full compensation that you really need.
You are not required to have an attorney represent you in your Workers’ Compensation claim, but your employer’s insurance company will do everything it can to deny your claim, pay less than you are entitled to receive, or cut your benefits short before you can return to work at your pre-injury income level.
Our Cumberland work accident attorneys are here to protect your rights and make sure that you receive your full Workers’ Compensation benefits.
Personal Injury Lawsuits
If you receive Workers’ Compensation benefits, you may still be able to sue a third party for full compensation. If you are not eligible for Workers’ Compensation, a personal injury lawsuit may be your only source of compensation.
