Guiding Injured Employees Through The Workers’ Compensation Process

If you have been hurt on the job, you cannot sue your employer, regardless of whether it was your fault or theirs. Instead, the employer is required to provide you workers’ compensation benefits to cover lost wages from missed work and medical bills incurred because of the injury.

The process to obtain these benefits is detailed and complex with strict timelines and protocol. As soon as you have been injured in a work injury, it is important that you consult legal representation to fully understand what you are entitled to and the best way to make sure you get it.

At Goldstein & Goldstein, LLP, we guide workers through the process from the moment they contact us to the recovery of benefits. Should you come to us after a denied claim, we assist you in creating an appeal.

We will gather the medical records and evaluations needed to demonstrate the extent of your injury. We will guide you to the medical treatment and rehab that you need to make a full recovery and move past this injury.

Medical benefits — The employer is responsible for the cost of medical treatment to “cure and relieve” the effects of the injury you have suffered on the job. This includes immediate care, as well as therapy and rehabilitation.

Temporary total disability (TTD) benefits — The employer is responsible to cover a certain amount of lost income, beginning after a one-week waiting period. You can receive up to 70 percent of your weekly wage if you are out of work because of the injury.

We are also ready to help you sort through matters of permanent total disability (PTD) and permanent partial disability (PPD), working to recover those benefits when needed.
