Workplace Injury

When an employee is injured in this state, most employers have workers’ compensation insurance to provide compensation for the medical bills and time off work needed to recuperate from an injury.   However, some employers do not have such workers’ compensation insurance, and as a result the employee may be provided with little or no compensation to pay these bills.  In those cases an employee must bring a lawsuit and demonstrate that the employer was negligent in some way in order to obtain financial relief. These issues are very complex and fact specific; thus, they require an attorney to review.
