What is Workers Comp, and what does it do?

The Workers Compensation law is designed to provide injured workers with certain benefits following an injury on the job. The two main benefits are weekly disability payments, and medical benefits related to the work injury. Depending on the type of injury, as well as other factors, these benefits include:

• Section 34 – Temporary Total Disability Benefits
• Section 35 – Temporary Partial Disability Benefits
• Section 34A – Permanent and Total Disability Benefits
• Section 13 & 30 – Medical Benefits
• Section 36 – Scarring, Disfigurement, Loss of Function Benefits
  

Whether you are entitled to these benefits will depend on a number of factors. Furthermore, the workers compensation insurers rarely just give these benefits away. More often than not, they will try to pay you less than you’re entitled, or not at all. This is why seeking out legal expertise to guide you through this process is extremely important.

Will I Get Comp?

Getting a workers’ compensation insurance company to pay is not always easy. In fact, right from the outset, insurance companies look for ways not to pay. They will call you, your employer, or your doctors and look for any little thing they can to escape liability and get out of paying.

Furthermore, the workers comp insurers are legally allowed to deny claims. Even ones that are clearly work related. If this happens, many times injured workers give up and accept that they are not entitled to benefits.

Do not give up. You are entitled to benefits. Call a Lynn Workers Comp Lawyer ASAP.

Third Party Liability?

In most cases involving an injury at work, workers compensation is the sole remedy to the injured employee. Many injured workers have a hard time believing this. However, that is the law. The workers comp system was designed, in fact, to get around having to sue your employer in tort, and rather established the workers comp system to provide a quicker path to benefits resulting from the injury.

However, there are instances where the injury was caused by someone or something other than the employer. This is called a third party action. Essentially, you are able to sue, in tort, the third party. This creates another path of recovery following the injury. Third parties can include a motorist who hits you while driving, a tool that is defective that causes the injury, or a cleaning company who forgets to put a sign out after cleaning the floors and leaving them wet. There are endless ways in which a third party action may come about.

Having an experienced Lynn workers comp lawyer will help ensure that all potential paths of recovery are explored.
