A civil law suit and your reduced workers’ comp benefits will pay for all of your injuries, medical expenses and lost income.
Politicians have cut hurt workers’ benefits recently. Your benefits are already cut in half. A companion civil case against a third party that caused your injuries brings a fair, full and reasonable award.
Workers’ comp payment to replace a worker’s income, temporary disability, is absolutely limited to 2/3′s of your salary and limited in time so that you will go without, work hurt, or bankrupt. Lost pay in a civil suit is fair and not restricted.
Medical benefits under Workers’ comp are now decreased. Physical therapy, work therapy, and chiropractic care have already been cut back and scrutinized. Vocational therapy, a standard damage in civil court, has been eliminated. The employer and insurance company select your doctor and control care. Civil awards permit you to choose the best medical treatment and are based upon what is medically reasonable and necessary for your recovery to make you and your loved ones whole again.
As a hurt worker you should immediately apply for the small but quick Workers?’ Comp Benefit right after you are hurt and follow all employer/government rules truthfully. The Work Comp System won’t cover you for all your losses and injuries.
As the severely injured employee you then have a constitutional right to a civil jury trial when injured by a 3rd party. No less than a civil award will supplement the meager Workers’ Comp award to make you and your family become whole again.
You need to seek legal counsel about a civil award as soon as possible after submitting the Work Comp Claim. You will have two years from the date of injury to file the civil suit. The fairest and best end results happen when the case is filed immediately. A delay can jeopardize your case for complete compensation. The accident site can change with the passage of time. Photos of your accident and circumstances of fault can be, damaged and cannot be found.
Very important records like accident reports, witness statements, daily journals, and written inspections are lost in time. Main witnesses are transferred and cannot be located. The passage of time benefits the 3rd party who caused your injury. The only way to retain essential proof is to immediately get a competent lawyer to protect the evidence and pursue the civil case.
