Workers Compensation
Employers are required by law to provide a safe workplace environment. Each year,
however, thousands of workers die as a result of work-related injuries. Millions
more sustain permanently disabling injuries in the course and scope of their work.
If you have been injured on the job, your employer or workers' compensation
insurance carrier is required to provide medical care and temporary financial
benefits for your injury or injuries. If you have suffered permanent impairment or
disability, you may also be entitled to long-term benefits.
At Morton & Germany, PLLC,we represent employees who have sustained serious
work-related injuries. Our attorneys understand the economic impact that serious
work-related injuries have on families. We provide guidance, support, and
resources designed to positively impact our clients' long-term well-being. If you
have been injured in a work-related accident, you must notify your employer. Your
employer or insurance carrier must then provide a choice of physicians (usually
three from unrelated medical practices). You cannot be fired or disciplined for filing
a workers' compensation claim.
Workers' compensation carriers utilize trained professionals to handle injury cases.
Unlike most employees, these insurance professionals understand workers'
compensation laws and use the law to their advantage. If you have been injured in
a job-related accident, it's crucial to your interests to consult an attorney you can
trust, so you receive all the compensation afforded to you by law. If you have
sustained a serious job-related injury, contact the attorneys of Morton &
Germany, PLLC today for a consultation.
