Work Injuries
There are some jobs that are inherently more dangerous than others. However, a workplace injury can occur to any employee at any time, and the attorneys at Jay Trucks & Associates are committed to helping workplace injury victims collect compensation. An injury could be as mundane as falling on an unsafe, unmarked surface; as frightening as losing a limb from dangerous machinery; or as deadly as inhaling toxic fumes that lead to cancer.
Employers must carry Workers' Compensation insurance to protect employees from injuries and illnesses sustained "out of and in the course of the employment." It is the duty of employers to provide a safe working environment for employees, but accidents happen and the Workers' Disability Compensation Act fills that gap.
Filing a workers' compensation claim is neither easy nor quick. Victims of workplace injuries or illnesses who utilize the services of a knowledgeable, detail-oriented workers' compensation attorney typically:
- Experience fewer problems in the filing process
- Obtain larger settlements
- Receive benefits for a longer period of time
Meeting deadlines, completing complex paperwork and being familiar with the "system" are all aspects that a workers' compensation attorney will handle for victims of workplace injuries.
If you are suffering from a workplace injury and need representation, please contact the Michigan Workers' Compensation experts at Jay Trucks & Associates today to discuss your situation and determine if you have a claim.
