Workers Compensation

Workers’ compensation cases typically occur when the employee gets injured while in the workplace or on the job. Should this occur and you are the victim of a workplace injury or accident, so that you can come back to the job and perform your duties as normal. This also insured the employer takes future measures in the workplace to reduce the risk of similar injuries of other employees while on the job. We handle workers’ compensation cases for all types of industries and all types of injuries.

Workers’ Compensation

Workers' compensation cases involving an employee who has been her while on the job or in the workplace. Since most of these injuries can often be devastating, the employee will require medical treatment an adequate time to recover. If the injury as a result of workplace negligence by the employer, the employer may be required to pay workers compensation fees to cover the medical expenses of the injured employee, as well as any recovery time as paid medical leave.

Hurt on the Job

If you haven't hurt on the job it is important to note the root cause of your injury. For example, if you work in a warehouse that requires lots of climbing, heavy lifting, for moving materials around, but you were not given the adequate tools or resources to do so and you get injured along the way, this isn't the fault of your employer. Your employer has a duty. This also means providing the right training and safety measures so that you know how to conduct your work without injuring yourself. Other types of accidents that can occur while on the job, include slipping and falling, being struck by something – either a falling object or a material – and being accidentally hit by something. In any of these cases, you will likely require medical treatment that your employer will need to pay as part of the settlement in your workers' compensation case.

Working Conditions

Another frequent scenario that we see, occurs when working technicians are not safe or secure. Working conditions are also the responsibility of the employer. The employer is required to take special measures to inspect the working conditions such as the machinery, the tools, and any other supplies used to perform job duties, and confirm that they are safe to use daily and by the employees. Should the employees require special training to operate some of the devices in the workplace, the training should be provided by the employer. Furthermore, the working conditions should be clean, with health code standards in place, to promote job well-being.

Employer Responsibility

As I mentioned before, the employer has many responsibilities, especially when employing several people at once. Some of the main responsibilities that employers have included keeping the facilities clean,  offering adequate training where needed, providing safety measures so that employees can perform their jobs well, and any other tools or resources that are needed to ensure that an employee is physically and mentally protected while on the job and in the workplace.
