Do You Qualify for Workers’ Compensation?
In Louisiana, most full-time, part-time, seasonal, temporary, and even some sub-contracted workers qualify for workers’ compensation. If you are considered an employee of an employer, then you very likely have or should have workers’ comp coverage. After being injured in a work-related accident, talk to a member of Ryan E. Gatti, Attorney At Law to see if you can file for workers’ compensation benefits.
Usually, workers’ compensation benefits after a work accident include:
- 100% coverage of necessary medical treatments, including future medical care
- Wage replacement if you can’t return to work right away
- Disability pay if you can’t return to any form of work
- Financial aid (up to a cap) to get new training or education to start a new career
Not sure if you have workers’ compensation? Our lawyers can review your employment status and insurance to see if you can use workers’ comp after a work accident.
Injury Claims After a Workplace Accident
If you are not covered by workers’ compensation — most independent contractors are not, for example — don’t assume that you can’t get compensation for your injuries and losses. Depending on the circumstances of your accident, you might be able to file an injury claim against the party or parties responsible. The difficulty that arises is that your case will be like any other personal injury case, meaning that you will need to prove that the defendant did something negligent that caused your injury; contrarily, in a workers’ compensation case, liability for the accident does not need to be established this way.
If your work accident claim goes to civil court and not through the workers’ comp process, you might be able to demand compensation related to:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Past and future lost income
- Pain and suffering
