Getting injured on the job can be devastating. While we often associate workplace injuries with very physically demanding jobs like construction or manufacturing, injuries can happen in any job. The first step for injured workers is to pursue workers’ compensation, but workers’ compensation may not go far enough to cover all of your expenses. Injured workers can also run into their claims being denied. Call us today at Herschensohn Law Firm, PLLC to see how our Lewis County, WA workplace injury lawyer can provide legal help!
In Washington, many workers are covered under workers’ compensation. This system goes a long way to provide benefits like medical expenses, lost wages, and even permanent disability in some cases. However, depending on the severity of your injuries, it may not cover everything. Workers’ compensation also doesn’t account for factors like emotional distress or pain and suffering.
Our legal team can help you pursue additional compensation, especially if, as a worker, you’re not entitled to workers’ compensation or if your claim was denied. We can handle all aspects of the process, including filling out paperwork, filing your claim, and negotiating a settlement. Insurance companies are often incentivized to deny claims or offer the least amount possible. They understand that injured workers usually aren’t in a position to fight back, but when they know our attorney is on the other side, they’re more willing to negotiate.
Sometimes, the type of injury can make the process harder as well. Injuries like a malfunctioning machine causing a worker to break an arm can have a clearer connection than a worker who ends up with a bad back after years of repetitive motions. The latter incident often requires more evidence, but our Lewis County workplace injury lawyer can help build a strong case.
When you’re injured on the job, you have every right to pursue compensation, but sometimes obtaining a fair and just settlement requires extra help.
