Posted by mcgillstephensfiddes on January 30th, 2017

Worker’s compensation lawyer can provide the best help to a worker who has suffered injury by advising hi or her if she/he should file personal injury case or just worker’s compensation claim. This will be the first and most important help to an injured worker and her or his family. This way the lawyer can help the worker from embarrassment and also looses to a great deal. Workers Compensation Lawyers will let the worker know after thorough inspection and research if the situation was t5he result of someone’s “fault” or it just happened where no one’s fault is involved.

Personal injury claim is different from worker’s compensation claim in the following ways

v  In personal injury cases the injury or damage is caused due to someone’s fault but in worker’s compensation cases the fault is either of the injured worker only or no fault at all.

v  In personal injury case the employees and or co-workers can be held responsible and sued, but in worker’s compensation case no one can be held accused or responsible for the injury or loss.

v  Naturally in personal injury claims the “fault” of the accused is to be proved but to avail of worker’s compensation claims no fault has to be proved.

v  Personal injury compensation includes benefits for pain and sufferings, whereas in worker’s compensation claim no compensation for pain and sufferings can be availed.

v  Present medical bills are compensated in both types of cases, but future medical expenses are met only in personal injury case type and not in worker’s compensation cases.

These are some of the major differences between personal injury cases and worker’s compensation claims. Remember representing the case for worker’s compensation will be done by a personal injury lawyer only. She or he here just not needed to prove that the injury or loss was the result of employer’s or colleagues fault.

Therefore do not just act alone and decide beforehand that you are at fault for the accident happened within work premise if even little doubt arises in your mind. Similarly when your lawyer after asking for detailed information and inspecting from every angle say that it cannot be a personal injury claim and that it was just a mishap, then know this your claim actually is worker’s compensation and not of personal injury type.

Hiring Workers Compensation Lawyers become important as no company or employer is that good these days that they will give you the exact amount you deserve as compensation for the injury happened at work place. They, their insurance company, shrewd compensation claim or insurance adjuster will try their level best to settle the matter with a fraction of what you really deserve. The workers compensation lawyer on being appointed by you will represent your claims correctly and strongly, besides trying their smart negotiating skills to persuade the insurance company to give the same.

They will do the legal paperwork properly; quote correctly after calculating your damages the compensation you deserve and not let you be wronged by your company or factory.
