| There are three broad categories of benefits under the workers' compensation system. First, you are entitled to have the employer provide medical care necessitated by the work-related injury. Second, you are entitled to be compensated for wage loss if the injury causes you to miss more than 3 days of work. The amount of compensation you are entitled to receive is based primarily on the amount of pay you were earning at the time of the injury. Generally, you are entitled to receive 2/3rds of your pay. However, the amount of wage loss you receive can be increased by other factors that the insurer will not typically reveal. We can help make sure that you receive the maximum wage benefits to which you are entitled. Finally, you are entitled to another financial award after you are released from medical care. Normally, injured workers, even after they receive all of the appropriate medical care, are left with some form of permanent impairment. Calculating the amount of permanent impairment (and the corresponding financial award) is a highly technical process. Unless an injured worker has representation, the employer/insurer will be left with a huge advantage in assessing and assigning the financial award. Our office is fully equipped to ensure that the final award be just and fair, and that you receive the maximum award available under the law. It is not unusual that we obtain awards that are two and three times the amount that the worker would have received without our intervention, skill and experience. We are committed to provide the best and highest level of legal representation available. We work tirelessly for our clients, and have a lengthy history of proven success.
