Benefits of Workers' Comp

Workers Comp Lawyer in Denver

When an employee is injured at work, they are entitled to certain benefits by law. Workers' compensation laws allow for an injured worker to be entitled to medical treatment for their injuries as well as a percentage of their weekly pay. There are other benefits that that can also be provided when the injured worker is partially or permanently disabled. To find out if you qualify for certain benefits, contact a Denver workers' compensation lawyer to discuss the facts of your accident.

What are your benefits?

There is a considerable amount of rules and regulations that govern workers' compensation claims. Without the knowledgeable assistance from an attorney at Anderson, Hemmat & Levine, LLC, you may not receive the full advantage of those benefits. While you may be entitled to medical treatment and pay, if your claim is denied because your employer doesn't believe your injury was work related, you will need an aggressive approach from a skilled attorney to help you get your claim reviewed. Medical treatment is covered, but once again certain medical procedures, such as surgeries, may be denied by the insurance company unless you have a strong advocate using the system of independent medical examinations or reviews to your benefit.

In addition, when you are permanently disabled, you have a right to possible long term permanent disability benefits if you cannot return to the job you were once performing. You may be able to obtain the disability payment in a lump sum as opposed to over a period of time. You may also be able to obtain vocational rehabilitation, if the situation warrants it. For those who lost a loved one in a work related injury, the survivors have a right to certain death benefits.
