What to do in the event of a work-related accident to obtain compensation?

In the United States, workplace accident cases tend to be among the most common, especially in those occupations where there are greater risks of being injured by the use of tools and heavy machinery. But do you know what you need to do after a workplace accident to get compensation?

Many of the states in the country, including New York, are governed by the “Workers’ compensation” law, which establishes that all employers must guarantee their workers access to insurance that, in the event of a work accident, must cover each of the expenses arising from the victim’s injuries.

This right applies to all workers in general, regardless of the industry to which they belong. Have you suffered an injury at work and do not know the process to follow to get benefits? At Nonna Law, we are ready to represent you and get justice for your injuries.

Contact our team now or schedule an appointment to learn the details of your case and determine the legal process to follow to ensure you have access to every benefit you deserve as a victim, including millions in compensation.

What expenses are covered by workers’ compensation?

Depending on the magnitude of the accident you suffered, you may require significant and costly treatments to fully recover your health after the accident. These procedures may represent important economic losses, which you may be able to recover in full through the compensation you are entitled to receive by law.

Some of the expenses that you may be able to recover through workers’ compensation for accidents at work are:

• Medical care.
• Prescription drugs.
• Ambulance transportation.
• Surgeries.
• Clinical studies.
• Lost wages.
• Lost work benefits.
• Expenses for temporary or permanent disability.

In addition, by having the support of our accident attorneys at Nonna Law, you can even add other expenses that may apply to your case, which will be determined after the investigation that we will carry out around the accident that you have suffered.

What to do when you suffer an accident at work?

As with many of the accidents that occur in the United States, in the case of workplace accidents, it is important to make sure that you follow a proper process after the event, in order to ensure your access to the benefits that the law can offer you, including a millionaire compensation.

In this sense, the first step you should take is to report the accident to your employer or supervisor, who will be in charge of initiating the respective process for the insurance company to provide you with the compensation you deserve.

Many times workers, due to a lack of knowledge of their rights, forget to report the accident they have suffered. However, this can lead you to lose the millionaire compensation that will help you recover all the expenses arising from the event.

Also, seeking medical attention is extremely important. In addition to stabilizing your state of health after the accident, this will allow you to have a medical report specifying important details about the accident, which will be essential at the time of claiming the benefits you are entitled to by law.
