Your Advocates After a Workplace Injury
Every Indiana employer is required to carry workers' compensation insurance in the event that an employee is injured on the job. Injured workers are entitled to seek benefits for the cost of necessary medical care, out of county travel to and from medical appointments and a percentage of his or her average weekly wage.
Employers don't like to file these claims because of the impact it can have on their insurance premiums and safety ratings, and insurance companies don't like to pay them because it impacts their bottom line. Together, these two components can make it extremely difficult for employees to get the benefits they deserve. Oftentimes, the assistance of an experienced attorney can help to ensure that your interests are protected.
