Protecting Your Rights After a Workplace Accident
Have you recently been injured on the job? Your employer and site manager have a certain responsibility to create a safe workplace for their employees, regardless of the industry you work in. Workers’ compensation insurance was put in place to protect people who are injured at work and provide financial support to cover any damages. Unfortunately, the system does not always work in favor of the victim, as employers and their insurers seek to circumvent their duties and deny the full and fair compensation that is deserved.
At Erskine & McMahon. LLP, we have over 100 years of combined experience filing workers’ compensation claims for injured workers in the area and are dedicated to being a champion for the downtrodden. Our Longview workers’ compensation attorneys combine our knowledge and skills with our insatiable drive to pursue justice on behalf of our clients, an approach that has established our firm as a team of legal advocates that clients can depend on.
What Benefits Am I Entitled to?
There are certain requirements which must be met in order to qualify for workers’ compensation. For example, you must have been employed at the location where you were working while injured. You must be able to prove that the injury was incurred as a result of your job or the employment.
A few examples of workers’ compensation claims include:
- Illnesses developed as a result of your job
- Injuries developed as a result of your job
- Injuries incurred due to hazards
Your employer may take a firm stand against the amount of compensation you really need for your injuries and expenses. Working with an experienced Longview workers’ compensation attorney can help to ensure you receive the proper amount. We take pride in standing up for our clients’ rights and ensuring that powerful companies don’t take advantage of their employees.
