Worker’s Compensation
Worker’s Compensation Overview
Every year there are thousands of claims filed in Indiana by employees who have been injured on the job. As hard as it is to deal with injury, the sad part is that too many injured workers will not receive fair treatment and proper benefits. When you leave home for work each morning, you do so with the expectation that your job environment is safe and secure. However, in each workplace there is always the chance for an injury or accident to occur. The opportunity for an accident or injury is even more serious for people who work in dangerous work environments, or if an employer permits inadequate safety standards at the workplace.
In Indiana workers compensation is a complex matter as there are important filing deadlines to meet, medical criteria that is essential to evaluate independently in each case, and the evaluation of the facts surrounding the injury to determine if there is third party responsible for the injury, workplace safety violations, or product liability.
You may be expected to devote time, energy, and dedication to your job, but no one can ask you to sacrifice your health or more importantly your safety. When you suffer an injury at work, the physical and emotional burden may be yours, but your employer should bear the financial burden.
If you’ve suffered an injury at work, but have not gotten the compensation that you deserve, we can help.
Injuries, Medical Treatment, And Wages
In Indiana, an employer has a duty to pay for medical treatment for their employee if the employee was hurt at work, wages if the employee is unable to work because of a work-place injury, and a payment for the employee’s permanent physical impairments due to the work-place injury. Unfortunately, not every employer abides by these standards and it is important to get qualified legal assistance to represent you in your case. Schiller & Kooi handles many types of workplace injuries including back and spine injuries, amputations, closed head injuries, and foot and hand injuries among others.
