Workers Compensation

Most people are somewhat familiar with the workers' compensation system and what it provides. However, what you do not hear about is how many eligible workers get turned down for workers' compensation benefits without just cause.

When an employee is injured on the job or performing job duties, he assumes he is protected and will receive compensation for lost wages and medical costs in the event of an injury. When an employee suffers fatal injuries, his or her family should be able to collect a number of benefits. However, this is not always the case. Employers or insurance companies may deny benefits or be unwilling to pay out immediately in order to save money.

If you have a Workers Compensation claim, even if your employer or its carrier is paying wages and medical, you should contact an experienced Comp attorney to discuss your short and long term rights. There is no charge for such a consultation, whether over the phone or in person with the attorneys at Murphy, Haskins & Dengler.
