Duson Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

Accidents can happen in the workplace for any number of reasons. You slip and fall on a wet floor. You are accidentally exposed to dangerous electricity. You injure your back because of the repetitive pulling and lifting you do at your job. 

Regardless of the cause of your workplace accident, you are likely eligible for workers’ compensation. A Duson workers’ compensation lawyer from our team at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers is ready to help you with your workers’ compensation case. You can turn to our personal injury team for support.

Defining Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ compensation is money you get from your employer’s state-mandated insurance after experiencing an injury or accident in the workplace. This money helps to cover your expenses related to your injury. 

The Workers’ Compensation Law lists many benefits you could secure. Your lawyer will go over what your situation warrants. Not every work injury will result in the same benefits.

How You Might Have Been Hurt While Working in Duson

For example, let’s say you get a cut at work and need to get stitches. Workers’ compensation would help cover the costs related to your emergency room visit. Suppose you are unable to work after your injury. In that case, you may also qualify for disability payments under workers’ compensation. This is when your employer gives you a portion of your wages for a specific time. 

If you break your arm, you might not be able to do what you usually would do at work. In that case, you could receive temporary disability payments while your arm heals. 

The exact amount you will get in workers’ compensation will depend partly on what you were earning at the company and the severity of your injuries. It will be different for each person that experiences a workplace injury.

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

What Sorts of Accidents Can Happen in the Workplace?

Accidents in the workplace can happen to anyone at any time. Some jobs have higher risks, so following safety procedures and getting the proper training to operate workplace equipment is essential. 

Falls can cause workplace injuries. It could be as simple as slipping on a wet floor or as severe as falling a significant distance, such as while working at a construction site. In extreme cases, falls can result in death. Other times, the effects are less severe. A fall may cause broken bones, head injuries, sprains, or bruising.

Another common cause of workplace accidents is contact with particular objects or equipment. You could have tripped over an object or had an object or piece of equipment fall on you. These accidents can result in crushing injuries, breaks, and sprains.

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

What to Do if You Get Hurt at Work in Duson

Remember, honesty and prompt treatment are essential. You should get the medical treatment you need and follow up with a doctor as required later on. You should also alert your employer to what happened, and the resulting injuries as soon as possible.

Prompt reporting helps with your case. For example, your employer may want you to see a specific doctor for disability evaluation. This doctor may be different from the doctor you see regularly. In addition, reporting accidents helps companies identify hazards and helps prevent the same accidents from happening to other employees.

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.

Working With a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Serving Duson

Sometimes, you won’t have any problems getting the workers’ compensation you need to cover the costs of your injuries. But other times, the problem is more complicated. For example, the insurer could claim that your injury wasn’t related to your job or that you failed to report your injury within the correct time frame. 

If the insurer denies your claim or if there are other complications, it can be beneficial to work with your workers’ compensation lawyer. When you consult with our firm, we will carefully review your case, what happened, and what you should be able to recover in workers’ compensation. 

From there, we can go about helping you appeal the denial. We will work to make the process as simple as possible, so you can focus on recovering from your workplace injury.

After working with a workers’ compensation lawyer, what we collect as our fee will vary, but take a deep breath. We will only charge you for our services if your case is successful.
