Workers’ Compensation Benefits for Injured Workers

Injured workers in Elkton can get benefits for disability caused by their injuries. Benefits are based on the degree of disability and whether the disability will be temporary or permanent.

Temporary Total: Compensation for employees unable to work temporarily, helping with wage loss during recovery.
Temporary Partial: Benefits for workers who can work on a limited basis.
Permanent Total: For those who can’t return to work, offering long-term wage benefits.
Permanent Partial: Provides benefits for permanent impairments, even if the worker can still work in some capacity.

In addition to workers’ compensation disability benefits, injured workers can get other benefits as well:

Medical Benefits: Covers medical treatment related to the work injury or illness.
Wage Replacement: Covers wages lost when traveling to get medical care or attend to some other matters related to workers’ compensation.
Vocational Rehabilitation: Offers assistance for injured workers needing to retrain or find new employment, covering costs for retraining, education, and job placement services.

Our Elkton workers’ compensation lawyers can help you with your claims and fight for the benefits you deserve.

Third-Party Claims for Workplace Negligence

Generally, injured workers are unable to sue their employer. They would instead file for workers’ compensation benefits. But if a party other than your employer or coworker caused your injury, you may be able to file a claim against that third party.

If you file a third-party claim, you may be able to recover compensation for your losses, which may include:

Medical expenses, including emergency care, hospital stays, surgery, medical treatment, medications, and more.
Ongoing care needs, including future medical care, rehabilitation, and more.
Lost wages, including the income lost while recovering from injuries and any reduced earning capacity if the injury affects your ability to work in the future.
Pain and suffering, for non-financial effects of the accident, like your physical pain and emotional distress.

Our personal injury attorneys can help you file your case and fight for the full damages you deserve, in addition to any workers’ compensation benefits you’re entitled to. It’s important your third-party claim accounts for not only your current expenses but also long-term losses.

Some work injuries, such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, back and neck injuries, and internal injuries or illnesses, may affect you in the long term, and your third-party settlement or verdict must account for all those losses.

Act Now to Secure Your Rights to Pursue Compensation

Generally, you need to inform your employer of your workplace injury within 10 days. If you developed a workplace illness, you generally have about a year to report it starting from the time you became aware of it or reasonably should have become aware of it. Injured workers should file their claims within 60 days; those who fail to file within two years may be unable to get benefits.

Meanwhile, the statute of limitations to file a personal injury lawsuit against a third party is generally three years. If you fail to file within the statute of limitations, you may be unable to bring legal action against the third party.

You should notify your employer of your injury or illness and file your claim as soon as possible. Our workers’ compensation attorneys can help you file your claims by these deadlines and fight for the benefits you deserve.
