Workers' CompensationLike most government bureaucracies the workers' compensation system is both difficult to understand and to navigate. Despite the difficulty of the claims process, workers' compensation insurance carriers are generally not as helpful as they could be when injured workers file a claim.
|
The workers' compensation systems in both Connecticut and Rhode Island are designed to benefit employees and employers alike. Employers receive protection from expensive, time-consuming civil lawsuits. Injured employees get full medical coverage and a steady source of income while they recuperate.
Although workers' compensation laws are designed to protect employees who are injured on the job, the process of claiming workers' compensation benefits is not as straightforward as it might appear. Insurance carriers routinely reject legitimate claims or offer settlements that fail to adequately compensate the employee for lost wages and medical bills.
Employees who suffer permanent, partial or total disability as a result of workplace injuries are usually entitled to lifetime benefits or lump sum payments to cover lost wages and health care costs. Insurance carriers fight to avoid the tremendous expense of these types of claims and they have experienced defense lawyers to assist them. An injured worker who is not represented by a lawyer is at a distinct disadvantage. A lawyer familiar with the law and the workers' compensation system understands how to gather the necessary medical evidence, how to assign financial value to injuries, and how to determine the adequacy or inadequacy of a settlement offer.
