Cecilia Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

Employers need to follow protocols and maintain a safe working environment. Likewise, employees should follow the guidelines laid out by their employer. But even with the best efforts to stay safe, accidents and personal injuries can still happen.

After experiencing an injury in the workplace, you are often eligible for workers’ compensation. A Cecilia workers’ compensation lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers is ready to help you with your case. 

What Is Workers’ Compensation, and What Should It Cover?

Workers’ compensation is money that helps to cover your medical bills related to a workplace accident. Regardless of what happened or who was at fault, workers’ compensation covers the costs of many injuries and accidents in the workplace. In addition to helping cover your medical expenses, workers’ compensation also often gives you a portion of your wages. 

How long you receive these disability payments will often depend on the severity of your injuries. For example, suppose you are unable to work for a few months. In that case, you may receive short-term disability while you recover. 

But if your injuries were more severe, you might receive a portion of your wages for a more extended period. The amount will depend on your original salary or wage amount. 

Injuries Covered By Workers’ Compensation in Louisiana

Workers’ compensation can be relevant for immediate accidental injuries and injuries because of long-term work. 

For example, let’s say you fall at work and injure your back. Workers’ compensation would help cover the costs of treatment for your back injury. In addition, you may also qualify for disability benefits if you are unable to work while you recover or if your injury prevents you from working long-term. 

But let’s say you develop carpal tunnel syndrome related to years of typing at your job. Workers’ compensation might help to cover the costs associated with treating carpal tunnel syndrome. If you aren’t sure about what is covered, speak to your lawyer.

What to Do if You Are Injured at Work in Cecelia, Louisiana

It can be helpful to review your work’s policy for reporting an injury in the workplace. If you take the time to review it, you can prepare what to do if you get hurt at work. However, remember that your safety and health are more important than any workplace policy. Two basic principles apply to workplace injuries:

  • Get the medical treatment you need.
  • Report the injury to your employer as soon as possible.

Often these two things can happen around the same time. For example, let’s say you get a cut at work that requires stitches. Before you leave for the emergency room, you will likely need to tell your supervisor where you are going and why. You probably won’t fill out any related paperwork right then. Still, you have at least alerted your employer to what happened.

It is vital to have open communication with your employer as much as possible. This increases your chances of getting the workers’ compensation you need to cover your expenses. Your employer may also want you to see a specific doctor for follow-up care or treatment.

I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.

How Working With a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Can Benefit You

Sometimes it is easy to get the workers’ compensation that you need after an injury. Other times, the process is more complex and challenging. Every state’s laws are a little different regarding workers’ compensation. 

Your workers’ compensation lawyer serving Cecelia will be well-versed in Louisiana employment law and will be able to clarify what you don’t understand. 

If the insurance company denies your workers’ compensation claim, your workers’ compensation lawyer can help you appeal the denial. A lawyer can help you through the legal process to take the right steps and fill out the proper paperwork. He or she also acts as your legal counsel and will represent you in your case if it needs to go to court.
