We Have The Experience You Can Trust

Were you recently injured on the job? Regardless of who was at fault for the accident that caused your injuries, you can be eligible to seek compensation by filing a workers’ compensation claim. The Workers’ Compensation Board of Indiana provides the forms you need to submit your claim, but it is critical to work with a Huntertown workers’ compensation lawyer who can assist you through the process.

Filing a workers’ compensation claim can be complex, and even a minor mistake can prevent you from receiving the benefits you need and deserve. At Delventhal Law Office LLC, we can begin working with you today on your Indiana workers’ compensation claim.

WHAT IS WORKERS’ COMPENSATION?

Workers’ compensation is an insurance program carried by employers to assist injured workers who suffer on-the-job injuries. Workers’ compensation is, in most cases, an exclusive remedy for worksite injuries, which means that workers can seek medical and financial assistance by filing a claim but cannot file a negligence lawsuit against an employer. In addition, you should know that workers’ compensation is not based on proof of negligence. To be sure, whether an employer or a co-worker, or even the injured worker is negligent, the injured worker can seek compensation.

There are some situations in which an injured worker may be able to file an injury lawsuit, such as cases in which a third party is responsible for the worker’s injury (like a motorist who crashed into a highway construction area or the manufacturer of a defective work machinery product). Before you consider a workers’ compensation claim or a lawsuit, you should seek advice from a workers’ compensation attorney in Huntertown.
