Workers’ compensation was established to protect employees who have sustained work-related injuries. Generally, the benefits cover medical expenses and wage loss. If you have been injured or have lost a loved one in a work-related accident, pursuing your claim quickly is crucial as there is a limited time frame within which to file a claim.
In addition, obtaining medical attention as soon as possible is important not only for your health but also to document the full extent of your injury and have it counted as a work injury.
While you may be able to pursue workers’ compensation on your own, having an experienced advisor to ensure that matters are handled fairly is a significant benefit.
