Only a civil law suit plus your reduced workers’ comp benefits will cover all of your injuries, medical expenses and lost income.
Politicians have cut hurt workers’ benefits recently. Your benefits have already been cut in half. A companion civil case against a third party that brought on your injuries adds a fair, full and reasonable award.
Workers’ comp payment to substitute a worker’s income, temporary disability, is strictly limited to 2/3′s of your salary and limited in time so that you will go without work hurt or broke. Lost pay in a civil lawsuit is fair and not limited.
Medical benefits under Workers’ comp are now decreased. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and chiropractic care have already been cut back and scrutinized. Vocational therapy, a standard damage in civil court, has been removed.
The employer and insurance company select your doctor and restrict care. Civil awards enable you to select the right medical care and are based on what is medically reasonable and needed for your recovery to make you and your family whole once more.
As an injured employee you must quickly apply for the modest but fast Workers’ Comp Benefit right after you are hurt and comply with all employer/government rules honestly. The Work Comp System won’t pay you for all your losses and injuries. As the very seriously injured worker, you also have a constitutional right to a civil jury trial when injured by a third party. Only a civil award will supplement the small Workers’ Comp award to help you and your family become whole once again.
You must find legal advice about a civil award immediately after filing the Work Comp Claim. You will have two years from the date of injury to file the civil suit. The fairest and best results happen when the lawsuit is filed promptly. Putting it off can jeopardize your case for full and complete payment.
The accident site will change with the passage of time. Photographs of your accident and circumstances of fault can be damaged and cannot be found. Important documents like accident reports, witness statements, daily journals, and written inspections can be lost over time. Main witnesses are transferred and can’t be found.
The passing of time works for the third party who brought about your injury. The only way to preserve essential proof is to immediately obtain a competent lawyer to preserve the evidence and go after the civil case.
