workers compensation insurance
workers compensation insurance or work injury claims are often handled differently than personal injury claims. Generally, the victim of a work-related injury seeks compensation from the employer’s workers’ compensation insurance instead of being directly from the boss himself. In most states, employers are required to insure their employees to protect company assets. Insurance can transfer the risk and litigation costs of the employer to the insurance company.
After an injury, injured workers are often required to submit a claim that describes their injuries and seek medical attention. In the case of a true work-related injury, the insurance company will offer an agreement to cover medical expenses and time away from work. Talk to a legal professional before accepting the worker’s compensation offer. You can get a more favorable agreement.
Common claims for work-related injuries include:
Construction accidents
Spinal or head injury
Fatal accidents
Railway accidents
Truck accidents
Death due to negligence
Slips and falls
