What is workers' compensation?

Workers' compensation is a state-mandated insurance program that provides benefits to employees who are injured or become ill due to their job. Benefits include payment of medical expenses, a portion of lost wages (typically 2/3 of your average wage), vocational rehabilitation, and permanent disability benefits if applicable. In exchange for these "no-fault" benefits, employees generally cannot sue their employers for workplace injuries.

Can I sue my employer for a workplace injury?

Generally, workers' compensation is the "exclusive remedy" against your employer, meaning you receive workers' comp benefits but cannot sue your employer. However, there are exceptions: (1) If your employer intentionally caused harm; (2) If your employer does not have workers' compensation insurance; (3) If a third party (not your employer) caused your injury. Third-party claims can provide significantly more compensation than workers' comp alone.

What injuries are covered by workers' compensation?

Workers' compensation covers most injuries and illnesses that occur in the course of employment, including: sudden accidents (falls, struck by objects), repetitive stress injuries (carpal tunnel, back problems), occupational illnesses (exposure to chemicals or toxins), and aggravation of pre-existing conditions. Mental health conditions like PTSD may be covered in some states if they result from workplace trauma.

What if my workers' compensation claim is denied?

Do not give up if your claim is denied. You have the right to appeal. Common reasons for denial include: disputing the injury is work-related, claiming pre-existing conditions, or alleging late reporting. An attorney can help you gather evidence, navigate the appeals process, and present your case at hearings. Many initially denied claims are ultimately approved on appeal.

Can I see my own doctor for a work injury?

This varies by state. Some states require you to see a doctor from your employer's approved panel, at least initially. Other states allow you to choose your own doctor from the start. Even if you must start with an employer-approved doctor, you may have the right to switch doctors later. An attorney can advise you on your state's rules and help you get appropriate medical care.

How much does workers' compensation pay?

Workers' compensation typically pays: (1) 100% of reasonable medical expenses; (2) About 2/3 of your average weekly wage for lost time (up to a state maximum); (3) Permanent disability benefits based on your impairment rating; (4) Vocational rehabilitation if you cannot return to your previous job. An attorney ensures you receive all benefits you are entitled to and that your disability rating is fair.
