Why Retain an
Attorney?
Not every
work-related injury requires the services of an attorney. Consider
these circumstances and determine if you need counsel from
Chiquoine & Molberg:
·
If the injury involves a pre-existing condition, it may not
be clear how much of the injury was caused in the workplace
·
If liability is a concern or if the claim is denied
·
If you have been contacted by your employer’s
insurance company
The Scope of
Worker’s
Compensation
What is worker’s
compensation? Generally, most employers are required by law to
carry worker’s
compensation insurance. The insurance will provide various
benefits for an employee’s
work-related injuries and/or illnesses.
No matter who was
responsible for the accident—the
employer or the employee—worker’s
compensation benefits provide benefits for workers and their
families. |
