If you get injured on the job, you’re entitled to some benefits. Those include, but are not necessarily limited to, coverage for any resulting medical expenses and reimbursement for wages lost while you’re healing. If your employer has a Workers' compensation program in place and agrees that the injury occurred while you were working, getting those benefits should be fairly straightforward. If you find yourself facing obstacles after a workplace injury, we can help.

At LG Law Center, we’ve seen a number of complex Workers' compensation cases. Here are a few common examples:

• The money your employer offers is not enough to cover all of your doctors’ bills or lost wages. If you find yourself dipping into your own pocket after a workplace injury, it’s time to get a professional involved.
• Your employer says the injury did not happen in the course of your employment. Workers' comp law is complicated and there are a number of regulations around what, exactly, constitutes an injury that can be covered. Getting a knowledgeable Workers' comp attorney on your side will help you defend your rights and get you the protection you deserve.
• You feel you’re being punished at work for filing a Workers' comp claim. You are well within your rights to get medical and lost wages coverage after a workplace injury. If you feel your employer is discriminating against you because you used Workers' comp, get an attorney involved. This kind of discrimination is unlawful.
• Your injury will permanently prevent you from doing the job you used to do. Don’t worry! You’re entitled to protection if you have a permanent disability resulting from your workplace injury.

As we mentioned before, Workers' compensation law is complex. Getting the full benefits you deserve can come down to knowing what paperwork to file and when.
