What Workers’ Compensation Benefits Do You Qualify For?

There are a variety of benefits and settlements for injured or ill workers that include but are not limited to:

Medical benefits: The insurer will cover the costs for most medical treatment you need while you’re recovering from an on-the-job injury or illness.

Lost wages: The insurer should make up a portion of your lost wages in most cases.

Additionally, insurers may provide disability benefits for a workers’ compensation settlement if you have some type of permanent disability. Attorneys at our firm will also fight for your right to claim your settlement over a period of time, or in a lump-sum payment.

What should you do first if you’re injured on the job?

Right away, you need to report your injury in writing to your employer. Most employers have forms set up for that given to them by insurance companies called a First Report of Injury. But a lot of employers drag their feet there, so if they don’t do a report of injury, it’s important for an injured worker to go ahead and do a report themselves in writing within the first four days. There could be some penalties if you don’t do it right away.

Should You Consider Lump-Sum Payments?

According to research, conducted by the Workers Compensation Research Institute “researchers concluded that a lump-sum payment could actually encourage an injured worker to return to work. They hypothesized that lump-sum payments might help workers close stressful chapters in their lives and move on to something new.”

If it will help you get back to work sooner, why not accept a lump-sum? It will definitely help you pay off your mounting bills sooner rather than later. However, some insurers fail to agree to these terms. Read more here.

Do Lump-Sum Payments Help or Hurt in Workers’ Compensation Cases?
