What Is Workers’ Compensation Insurance?
Workers’ compensation insurance is a type of no-fault, mandatory insurance that most employers are legally required to carry in the state. If a worker is injured while performing a work-related duty, workers’ compensation insurance is designed to provide monetary benefits for the worker regardless of fault. In exchange for no-fault benefits to the worker, employers enjoy immunity from liability, which means that an injured worker cannot sue their employer following a workplace accident, with the exception of very limited and special circumstances.

Our lawyers have represented clients who have been involved in a wide range of workplace accident types.
While high-risk injuries include:
- construction;
- transportation;
- and manufacturing.
We can help workers in any industry type who have been involved in the following:

Benefits Available Under Workers’ Compensation
You are entitled to certain benefits under the workers’ compensation system when you are involved in a workplace accident. These include:
- Medical benefits to pay for the full value of any necessary and reasonable medical costs you incur, such as hospital stays, medications, surgeries, therapy, doctors’ visits, and more.
- Disability benefits, also known as lost wage benefits, which are paid at a rate of ⅔ of your average weekly wage before the accident occurred.
- Vocational rehabilitation services, which are provided to you if your injuries prevent you from performing work for which you are already trained/experienced in.
- Death benefits, which are paid to your dependents in the event than you are involved in a workplace accident that results in death.
How Our Lawyers Can Help
If you’re injured on the job, you may assume that your employer and their workers’ compensation provider will be eager to cooperate and provide you with the benefit amount to which you’re entitled. While this may be the case, it’s important to note that it may not be – your employer may deny your claim, or the workers’ compensation provider may offer you less that you believe you deserve. To protect yourself against unfair practices and to improve your chances of receiving the settlement you need and deserve, you need a skilled Columbia City workers’ compensation lawyer on your side. Our Columbia City workers’ compensation attorney at the Delventhal Law Office can get started on your case today. Call us now at (260) 484-6655 for a free consultation and advocacy you can count on.
