Although the injury can indeed be quite startling in some cases, most workers' compensation cases involve a lot more than just recovering from the injury. If you have recently suffered a serious workplace injury:
- You are probably facing extraordinary medical bills.
- You are also facing the loss of wages because you are no longer able to work.
- You are most likely facing the stress and anxiety involved with wondering whether you will be permanently disabled and whether you will be able to continue providing for your family.
- You are facing a complicated bureaucratic legal system standing between you and the compensation you need.
The workers' compensation system — the very system set up to help injured workers — can seem like a brick wall standing between you and the compensation you need. Our Charlotte workplace injuries lawyers have been knocking down that wall for our clients for many years.
Types of Compensation Available
Workers' Compensation
Workers' compensation is the most common form of income replacement for those who suffer a workplace injury. Generally, most employers are required to compensate injured workers regardless of who was at fault. There are, of course, exceptions to that rule, and it can be a difficult road to actually obtain compensation from workers' comp even when the injury sustained is clear. Contact an attorney for the help you need.
Third-Party Liability
If you suffered injuries due to an accident at work, the accident may have been caused at least in part by the negligence of someone who is not employed by your company. Sometimes a defective product, like an industrial machine, causes the injury. The individual or entity responsible for causing your injury could be held liable for your injuries. The interplay of the workers' compensation system and civil liability claims is complex, and often requires the guidance of an attorney with the know-how to maximize the benefits and recovery available to injured employees.
