Types Of Workers’ Compensation Case We Handle

Our law firm takes on a wide range of workers’ compensation cases, including those caused by the following:

• Employer negligence
• Hazardous work conditions
• Poor road conditions
• Malfunctioning machinery or equipment
• Worksite code violations
• Injuries caused by third parties

Regardless of how your accident happened, you may be entitled to receive financial benefits to cover your medical expenses, lost pay, disability, pain and suffering, and more.

You May Have Multiple Compensation Options After a Workplace Injury or Illness

Most workers in Michigan should have access to medical coverage and lost wage benefits from workers’ compensation if they suffer a work-related injury or illness. In exchange for requiring your employer to provide you with this type of coverage, the state’s workers’ compensation laws bar you from taking legal action against your employer. However, you may have other options for seeking compensation above and beyond — or instead of — workers’ compensation benefits. We can review your case and determine if you are eligible to hold another party financially responsible for your damages. This may include:

• The designer or manufacturer of a defective tool that caused your injuries.
• The property owner or occupier who failed to take care of a hazard that caused your injuries.
• Another third party caused your injuries in some way, such as being the at-fault driver in an on-the-clock car accident.

What To Do If You Are Injured At Work

To receive workers’ compensation benefits, it is important that you take all the necessary steps required by your employer and the state of Michigan. These steps include the following:

• Seek professional medical care without delay. If possible, try to avoid receiving medical assistance from coworkers.
• Fill out an accident report. Provide the details of the accident and your injuries. Submit the report directly to your supervisor.
• Make sure that your employer fills out and sends all necessary documents to the insurance company and the state of Michigan.
• Fill out a Loss of Wages Claim if you lost pay due to your recovery.

Taking these necessary steps will validate your claim and drastically increase your chances of getting the compensation you deserve for your damages. Our law firm can help you through each step of the process.
