Workers’ compensation claims compensate people who have been injured as a result of their work. Compensation can vary depending on the objective severity and permanence of the injury and the financial and personal losses. Workers compensation benefits can include:
- Disability benefits: Permanent or temporary
- Medical costs: Reasonable and necessary
- Death benefits: Benefits for dependents of workers who die as a result; usually calculated by multiplying funeral costs by a specific number such as $10,000
A worker can submit a claim to receive these benefits through an application process. The most popular method is to apply directly to one’s insurer with supporting documentation such as medical reports and evidence of lost earnings. If the insurer disputes this claim, the worker may need to contact a workers compensation lawyer for further advice.
A worker can also receive benefits under common law if workers’ compensation legislation does not cover them. This type of claim requires legal representation from Robert J. DeBry & Associates.
