Let Our Injury at Work Lawyers Represent You

If you have sustained an injury at work, you are probably searching for lawyers to help you through the workers' compensation claim process.

Despite the fact that there has  been a decrease in the number of injuries at work, millions of American are still being injured at their workplace. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses among private industry employers in 2007 occurred at a rate of 4.2 cases per 100 equivalent full-time workers—a decline from 4.4 cases in 2006. Similarly, the number of nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses reported in 2007 declined to 4 million cases, compared to 4.1 million cases in 2006.

If you are injured in an accident at work you are probably entitled to workers' compensation. You could run into problems, however, if you don't realize that you are injured right away. Many states have a very short period of time in which you must report an accident in order to be covered under workers compensation. This is why you should report any accident that you are involved in on the job, whether or not you believe you are injured. Workers Compensation laws require most employers to obtain workers' compensation insurance. In exchange the laws provide that employees can't sue their employers over workplace injuries. With worker's compensation, the employee doesn't have to prove that the employer's negligence caused the injury. In fact, the employee can be compensated even if the employee's own negligence caused the injury.
