What to Do if You Have Been in a Work Accident:
- Go see a doctor. Even if your boss tells you that you are all right and simply need to take off a couple days, it is important to have a physician examine you in case your condition worsens. Make sure you tell your doctor that the incident leading to the injury took place at work. You are entitled to see your family doctor.
- Try to have an accident report filled out. If possible take pictures of the accident scene with a cell phone camera and ask witnesses to make statements.
- Contact The Tadda Law Firm.
Addressing Workers’ Compensation Issues Effectively
We have experience handling workers’ compensation issues for clients. We have seen neck, back, knee and shoulder injuries result from slip-and-falls, industrial accidents, offshore incidents, chemical plant and construction site accidents.
Your work comp benefits will include two-thirds of your weekly wage (subject to a maximum amount). Work pay benefits do not start until after seven days. If your injury keeps you out of work for over six weeks, you will get your first week’s wages after this time.
We have been instrumental in helping clients get temporary and permanent disability as well as compensation for vocational rehabilitation in cases where workers’ can no longer perform their usual tasks.
Lump-Sum Settlements
Many of our clients prefer lump-sum settlements to payments over several years. We work to help people get their extended benefits in one payment so they can better control their finances.
