If you have been injured while on the job, you may be eligible for compensation from your employer.
Many companies provide employees with workers’ compensation insurance. Workers’ compensation insurance benefits may cover lost wages and medical bills for treatment and recovery from your injuries. Depending upon the nature of your injuries, you may be eligible for more compensation than you are currently receiving.
If you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident while on the job, you may also be entitled to collect for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering from the negligent driver’s insurance company, which may provide third-party benefits beyond what workers’ compensation benefits provide.
If you have been injured while on the job, our firm will work to obtain the maximum amount of workers’ compensation benefits or third-party compensation on your behalf. Contact us today for a free consultation.
