Having an experienced injury attorney can speed up the process by helping you avoid unnecessary delays. A lawyer can also help you make sure you do not leave any benefits on the table.

What Kind Of Injuries Are Covered By Workers’ Compensation?

Workers’ compensation covers a wide range of injuries and disabling conditions, including physical injuries and mental health conditions. Common types of injuries and conditions include orthopedic injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, burn injuries, eye injuries and amputations. Some catastrophic injuries can result in permanent benefits.

Does Workers’ Compensation Cover Fatal Workplace Accidents?
