Workers' Compensation
Laws passed by the state require that your employer, or your
employer's insurance company, compensate you, or your family,
for injuries or death that may occur while you are working. You
may be entitled to:
- Weekly benefits while you are temporarily totally disabled
and unable to work.
- Payment of your medical expenses.
- Weekly payments or a lump sum payment for partial or total
disability resulting from a work related injury.
What should I do if I am injured?
You should report the injury immediately to your employer. If
you cannot reach an agreement with your employer or their insurance
carrier, as to what benefits or medical expense payments you
are entitled to, you can file your claim with the Industrial
Commission.
What You Need To Know:
Insurance companies' obligations are to their stockholders and
policy holders, not to the people injured by their insured's
negligence. Insurance companies' desire to maximize their own
profits provides them with every motivation to try to deny your
claim or pay you the very minimum amount that they can get away
with. The insurance companies also have enormous advantages:
they have immense wealth, armies of experienced adjusters and
lawyers and years of experience reducing and denying claims.
