Injured Workers Often Need Legal Representation To Get Fair Treatment

Workers’ compensation provides important benefits to cover wage loss, certain costs of medical care and other potential benefits for workers who have suffered injuries or illnesses while on the job. Workers’ compensation is a no-fault insurance-based system. Employees are not required to prove the fault or negligence of their employers in order to obtain workers’ compensation benefits.

Injured workers, or those who ahve contracted occuspational illnesses may qualify for benefits in a variety of circumstances:

  • Work-related injuries, including back, knee or shoulder injuries
  • Aggravation of a pre-existing medical condition
  • Work accidents
  • Repetitive stress injuries
  • Falls from heights (e.g., falls from scaffolding or ladders)
  • Occupational illnesses or diseases

Many injured workers do not understand their rights. Often, workers believe that they are only entitled to workers’ compensation benefits for sudden accidents or injuries. They do not understand that they may be entitled to compensation for the aggravation of a knee or back injury, or a repetitive stress injury that may be caused by frequent lifting, bending or other job functions.

Some workers have suffered hearing loss due to frequent exposure to loud noises. Some workers have suffered brain damage due to frequent exposure to dangerous chemicals. All too often, however, employees do not realize that they may have a right to receive workers’ compensation benefits.
