Denied Claims / Delayed Claims
If your compensation claim was denied, that means the adjuster assigned to your case determined that your injury or illness is not covered by the company plan. Workers Comp is intended to give benefits to workers who are injured on the job without having to go through the process of proving blame on the employer. When this privilege is denied, employees can appeal the denied claims. Sometimes, claims are denied because of a medical issue. If you visit an attorney, they may suggest that you visit a medical specialist to have your injury looked evaluated in order to provide further proof of injury or disability directly related to the function you were performing at your job. |
Knee, Ankle, Foot Injury
Injuries to your Knee, Ankle or foot, on the job, can happen for many reasons. They're very common as well with more that 620,000 cases of ankle sprains every year. Secondly, one of the most common emergency room visits in the US is for knee injuries. These types of injuries commonly happen at work and can be the result of insufficient employee training, unsafe work environments, or lack of supervision. As soon as you experience a knee, ankle or foot injury, tell your supervisor right away. The slower you are to act on this puts the strength of your claim at risk. If you are not able to perform your job properly because the the injury you sustained, you're going to want benefits to cover medical costs and money to cover expenses while you're not working. |
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
When you think about workers compensation, most people think about slip and fall accidents or something related to construction or heavy lifting. Well, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can simply be the result of too much repetitive motion whether it be at a desk keyboard or a jackhammer at a construction site. If you are experiencing the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, get evaluated by a medical professional because you may be eligible for benefits. So let your boss/supervisor know about your condition and then get in touch with a workers compensation attorney to make sure you get everything you're entitled to. |
Overexertion
Overexertion is one of the most common causes of a workplace injury. We live in a culture that encourages everyone to push yourself as far as you can go but sometimes, that motivation could lead to injury. Your body may be telling you to quit if you experience a sudden sharp pain, nausea, high speed heart rate, lightheadedness, shortness of breath or even pain in the abdomen to name a few. If you experience these symptoms, you should immediately take a break until your symptoms subside. If they don't, you should notify your supervisor and seek professional medical attention. It is best to take preventative steps like taking breaks regularly, stretch, know your limitations, lift lighter loads and practice good posture. A good strength training routine is also very beneficial to prevent future incidents. |
Workplace Violence
If you were attacked at work, you could qualify for Workers Compensation, but it must be proven that the incident occurred while the victim was working their job. Workplace violence could be physical contact, a threat of violence or even verbal abuse. In tragic cases, they could result in homicide. An example of workplace violence could be a doctor being attacked by their patient or an altercation between two employees that resulted in physical contact. The victim in these situations has to provide a body of evidence that proves the violence happened during employment. The victim does not always qualify for benefits but a quality attorney can help review the reasons for the assault and analyze the witness accounts, medical reports and police reports. |
Chemical Exposure
Asbestos, Benzene, Cyanide, Pesticides, Silica, Mercury and Lead are some of the most toxic chemicals that when exposed to on the job could cause serious injury or illness. Asbestos and Cyanide are particularly dangerous because it doesn't take very much to cause health problems. There are minor effects that one can notice immediately like sneezing or sore throat. There are also more serious immediate effects like blindness. Some health issues could take years to appear and are usually the result of long term exposure to hazardous chemicals. This scenario can lead to liver damage, brain damage, cancer, and heart conditions. Other symptoms of Chemical Exposure could include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headaches, shortness of breath, rashes, burns, tremors, loss of balance or coordination, and miscarriage in women. |
