Church Point Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

It was just another day at the office. You weren’t expecting an injury to happen, but it did. What happens now? After an injury in the workplace, you are likely eligible for workers’ compensation. Sometimes, getting workers’ compensation turns complicated, and it becomes helpful to seek outside legal help from a personal injury firm.

A Church Point workers’ compensation lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers is ready to help you with your case. 

Who Is Covered By Workers’ Compensation in Louisiana?

Most full-time workers qualify for workers’ compensation. Workers’ compensation typically covers injuries that happen in the workplace, regardless of who was responsible for the accident or actions that caused them.

What does Workers’ Compensation Cover in Louisiana?

If you get hurt on the job, workers’ compensation helps cover your medical expenses related to the injury. You may also qualify for disability payments depending on the injury’s severity. Disability payments are when your employer pays you a portion of your wages while you cannot work. 

The exact amount you may get in disability will depend on the severity of the injuries and whether your disability is permanent or temporary. The amount will also depend on the amount you usually get paid for your job by the company.

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

Causes of Injuries in the Workplace

Accidents and injuries can happen for several reasons. Sometimes, injuries are minimal and have a short recovery time. Other times, injuries can lead to long-term disability or even death.

The National Safety Council specifies that common causes of workplace injuries include falls, overexertion, and exposure. 

Falls

Falls can lead to varying levels of injury. For example, you may break a bone after a fall or injure your head, neck, or spine. Sometimes, falls can lead to long-term disability. Other times, the recovery time is long and time-consuming.

Overexertion

Overexertion can include things like overreaching or improper lifting. For example, you may injure your back after moving several heavy objects that excessively strain your body. Other times, repetitive motions can cause injuries over a long time. For example, carpal tunnel syndrome is often caused by activities like typing for long periods. 

Exposure

A wide variety of injuries fall into the exposure cause category. For example, maybe you were exposed to extreme temperatures at your job because of work that you did outside. Or perhaps you were exposed to a virus that causes illness, such as COVID-19. 

CTA CTA

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.

Steps to Take After a Workplace Injury in Church Point Harms You

It’s important to follow your company’s protocol, but you should also remember that your health and personal safety are paramount. After removing yourself from any immediate danger, you should get the medical treatment you need. What sort of treatment you will need will depend on what happened.

You should also report the incident to your employer. This can sometimes happen before you even seek treatment. For example, if you need to go to the emergency room, you would likely have to notify your supervisor that you are leaving work, and explain why. In cases like this, you have at least told your employer what happened. Still, you will likely need to fill out additional paperwork later. 

It is best to report your injury as soon as possible to reduce your chances of your employer denying your workers’ compensation claim. 

CTA CTA

They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.
