Workers' Compensation

Did you know that workers' compensation laws were originally passed for the protection of the employer? It's true. Employers were being sued by employees for unsafe working conditions and co-employees were suing each other for negligence. The money damages were too great for employers so they sought protection from their lawmakers.

As a result, workers' compensation was created with the idea that everyone would recover some amount for injuries in the workplace but the amount of recovery would be controlled. Thus, workers' compensation laws put in place caps on employer liability and provided injured workers immediate - yet reduced - benefits and eliminated the need to prove negligence or fault.

Answer

This is a difficult question. The law firm of McCullough, Wareheim & LaBunker would be happy to provide you a free legal consultation. We have three goals to accomplish when initially meeting with an injured worker. We first educate the client on their rights and responsibilities. We evaluate whether the client is currently receiving proper benefits and answer any questions. Finally, we explain to the client whether we believe legal representation is necessary and if so we explain the attorney fees and expenses that would be involved. A work related injury can have a major impact on the worker and his or her family. Knowing your rights and making informed decisions is a very logical course of action.
