Workplace injuries are difficult to live with. Not only is there the pain and possible disability of the injury itself, there are also issues regarding medical costs, rehabilitation costs, and lost wages if you are unable to work. The workers’ compensation system is supposed to provide you with a speedy financial recovery so you can get on with your life. However, sometimes employers fight to deny you the compensation to which you are entitled. When that happens, you need a passionate and experienced attorney on your side like the lawyers at Allegretti & Associates.
How Does Workers’ Compensation Work?
Usually when you are injured and it is someone else’s fault you have to sue the responsible person to receive compensation. However, in most cases if you are injured in the course of your employment your employer is required to pay you certain monetary compensation regardless of who’s fault the injury was. This is what the worker’s compensation system is for. If your employer fights paying your worker’s compensation claim, your case will initially be heard by an arbitrator rather than in a regular court.
