Know Your Workers Compensation Rights
It is important to speak to an attorney regardless if your workers compensation claim has been accepted or denied. In a workers compensation claim it does not matter who was at fault, unless it was a purposeful self inflicted injury. Clients do not receive pain and suffering under workers compensation claims.
All claims are handled in front of a judge, with no jury present. Workers compensation claims are typically handled within a few months of filing the initial claim. The goal in a workers compensation case is to get the very best medical care available for your injury then receive a settlement for compensation.
