How Do I Make a Claim for Compensation Following a Workplace Injury?

Strict time limits apply for workers’ compensation claims and vary depending on what state you work/live in. The initial injury report needs to take place immediately after the injury occurs to ensure adequate record keeping, the sooner the report has been recorded the better.

Our client’s first question to us often is “how much I will be entitled to claim”, and this is dependent on the severity of the injury, how it happened and the state law you are covered. How much you could be entitled to will also depend on how much of a percentage you are entitled to claim, you may be entitled to equal or a percentage of your earnings as well as all reasonable medical expenses, or you have an option for a lump sum payment if the incident caused permanent impairment.
