What benefits can I receive from workers' compensation?
Workers' compensation typically covers medical expenses, a portion of lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and disability benefits if applicable. Death benefits may also be available to dependents in the case of a fatal accident.
Do I need an attorney to file a claim?
While not required, having an attorney can be helpful, especially in complex cases or if your claim is denied. They can guide you through the process and help protect your rights.
Can I file a claim if the accident was my fault?
Yes, workers' compensation is a no-fault system, meaning you can still file a claim even if the accident was due to your error, as long as it occurred in the course of your employment.
Can I sue my employer for a job accident?
Workers' compensation typically limits your ability to sue your employer. However, you may pursue legal action against third parties who contributed to the accident, depending on the circumstances.
