Understanding a Workers’ Compensation Case
What is a Workers’ Compensation Case?
A workers’ compensation case is a legal matter that involves an employee who has suffered an injury or illness on the job.
Workers compensation is a type of insurance that offers support to workers who sustain injuries or get sick as a result of their job. It covers expenses such as medical bills, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs and serves to safeguard both the employee and employer in situations involving work-related accidents or illnesses. Workers compensation is a fundamental aspect of any job, as it provides essential protection and assistance in times of need, allowing employees to focus on their recovery without worrying about financial costs. As a small law firm, Crowder & Scoggins, Ltd understands the importance of workers compensation and offers legal services to help clients navigate this complex area of law.
In the United States, workers who are injured or become ill on the job are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. This includes both employees and independent contractors. Other potential parties who may be entitled to compensation include family members or dependents of the injured worker, and surviving relatives in the case of a fatal accident.
