Testimonials
5 Golden Stars. Thanks to Todd Trucks and his staff. My comp case was settled and my injuries can be addressed. Because of covided, I was laid off and released from my employment. My injuries were not properly addressed medically. I was being swept under the rug and forgotten about by my former employer and the insurance company. Thankfully, Todd Trucks and his associates. Very professional and informational. Highly recommend.

Attorney
Employers that have three or more employees or one employee working 35 hours or more each week must purchase workers' compensation insurance. This coverage provides compensation to employees who suffer a personal injury "arising out of and in the course of employment," according to Michigan's Workers' Disability Compensation Act.
A personal injury can also be a disease or disability that is a result of conditions specific to your job, also known as an occupational disease. This definition excludes diseases the public is generally exposed to outside of the workplace, like the flu.
All employers in Michigan contribute to a special fund to provide compensation to employees who suffer certain dust-related diseases or injuries while doing certain types of work in the logging industry. For example, this fund provides special protection for foundry workers who develop silicosis.
You may also be able to obtain benefits if a preexisting injury or illness becomes aggravated or accelerated by your employment. Examples of preexisting conditions that could be accelerated by employment include mental disabilities, arthritis and heart conditions.
However, there are specific requirements for obtaining coverage, such as proving your condition was significantly aggravated. If you are pursuing compensation for a mental disability, you must show it is a result of events during your employment.
When a dispute arises between you and your employer or its workers' compensation carrier, you can file Form WC-104C.
You will go through mediation if your claim fits the following criteria:
- You are seeking medical benefits only
- You are not being represented by an attorney
- The Workers' Compensation Agency determines mediation may resolve the dispute
- You are seeking vocational rehabilitation only
- Your employer lacks workers' compensation insurance
Otherwise, your case will be sent to magistrate's docket and the relevant parties will be served with notice of the date, time and location of a pre-trial meeting.
Our attorneys have detailed knowledge of this process and what it often takes to overturn a denial of a workers' compensation claim. We are prepare to guide you each step of the way.
The law requires prompt, regular payment of benefits employees are eligible to receive. They must cover medical bills for any reasonable, necessary treatment.
Wage loss benefits are paid on the 14th day you are disabled. Benefit checks are late if they are not received within 30 days of the due date.
