Workers' Compensation Attorney Indianapolis
If you have a work-related injury, this may be the first time you have had to deal with the Indiana workers' compensation program. That lack of experience can cause problems. Many injured workers don't receive the benefits they deserve simply because they are unaware of the rules.
Many employers want to discard workers after they have been hurt. However, you are entitled to benefits for as long as you are injured and perhaps cannot work. It does not matter if you are a documented or undocumented worker. I offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
As your lawyer, I charge no fees unless I am successful in helping you obtain the workers' compensation benefits you deserve.
Workers' Compensation Benefits in Indiana
- Workers' compensation benefits. You are entitled to payment of your medical expenses and a percentage of lost wages for as long as you are unable to work. Workers' compensation is also referred to as workman's comp or workers' comp.
- Permanent disability. If you suffer a loss of function of any body part, workers’ compensation will pay you a certain amount for that permanent disability. Workers’ comp also covers vocational rehabilitation in some cases. The more serious your injury, the more important it is to seek a lawyer's help.
- You cannot be fired for filing a workers' compensation claim. If your employer terminates you, you can file a wrongful termination claim against your employer.
- Injuries caused by defective equipment or third parties. If your injury was caused by defective equipment or someone other than your employer, you may be entitled to additional compensation by filing a personal injury lawsuit.
