Workers’ Comp Covers Injured Employees in Pennsville
A crucial point to keep in mind is that as an employee who was injured at work, you are covered by workers’ compensation. Employers are required to carry this form of insurance for their employees.
Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, and as such, there is no need to prove that you were injured as a result of your employer’s negligence. While bringing a workers’ compensation claim is designed to make the claims process more streamlined, this does not mean that you can automatically expect fair compensation.
(609) 528-5701The Workers’ Compensation Insurance Provider
Both the workers’ comp insurance provider and your employer are motivated by profits and are, therefore, invested in keeping your compensation low. In other words, you’ll need to bring a solid claim that you are well prepared to defend, and having skilled legal guidance in your corner from the outset is the best approach.
Keep in mind that the insurance company handling your claim will be very interested in what you have to say about the accident and your injuries. In fact, a common means of limiting compensation is using claimants’ statements to weaken their own claims. This makes it in your best interest to stay off social media until your claim is settled and to allow your knowledgeable workers’ comp attorney to make a statement on your behalf.
Worker’s Compensation Coverage
Workers’ compensation helps expedite the claims process and ensures coverage for many. The compensation you can pursue in a workers’ compensation claim, however, is less robust than it would be in a personal injury claim.
If a work-related injury keeps you off the job, you can seek compensation for the following in your workers’ compensation claim:
- Your necessary and reasonable medical expenses
- A specific percentage of your work income at the time of the accident
- Benefits related to permanent partial or permanent total loss of function that apply to injuries with long-term consequences
Only under extraordinary circumstances can employees file personal injury lawsuits against their employers.
