• Lost wages

• Temporary Disability Benefits

• Cash award for any permanent damage that partially or totally effects your ability to work (this cash award is not taxable)

• Death benefit including funeral expenses and wage loss payments to your family

​

Do You Need to Prove Fault to Collect Benefits?

​

       NO, you do not need to prove fault. In fact, you can be at fault and still receive workers’ comp benefits. You are entitled to benefits regardless of who is at fault.

​​

       Also, if your a paid or volunteer Police Officer, Fire Fighter, Correction Officer, EMS, Medical Technician, Nurse, etc.) there is a presumption of compensability if you can demonstrate exposure at work.

​​

Should I File a Claim for only Serious Injuries?

​

       NO, you should file a Claim for any and all injuries.  Some injuries may take months or years to show permanent damage and, without a record of it occurring, it could be difficult to prove it happened at work.

​

Besides Workers’ Comp, Is Other Legal Remedies Available?

​

       Depending on how your injury happened, other negligent parties may be liable for your injuries and a separate lawsuit could be filed against them for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain & suffering.

​​

Is There a Time Limit to File?

​​

       YES, a workers’ comp claim must be filed within 2 years of date of injury or last payment of compensation, whichever is later.
