Types of Injuries
Catastrophic Injury
If your injury is so severe that it prevents you from working permanently, you may be entitled to significant benefits, including disability benefits for life. Amputations of limbs, paralysis, burns, brain trauma, and other injuries may qualify, so call us today to have someone that will fight for your rights against the insurance company.
Death Claims
If your loved one died due to a workplace injury, the law allows for compensation to the family and dependents of the victim, including burial costs, and disability benefits for spouses and dependent children. Proving the compensability of the injury and dependency can be very complicated, but Alex Adkins can help guide your claim through the labyrinth of the law.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
If you are driving for your job and are involved in a car accident, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation, whether the accident was your fault or not. While accidents that occur going to or coming home from work are generally not compensable, running errands for your employer, making deliveries, or driving to accomplish other tasks that benefit your employer are all situations that could result in a workers compensation injury, whether the accident occurred in your personal vehicle or a company vehicle.
Repetitive Motion Injuries
Sometimes, an injury doesn’t happen immediately, but instead is the result of repetitive tasks done over a period of time. Carpal tunnel syndrome from typing, joints wearing down from assembly line work, repetitive motion injuries are compensable under the Workers’ Compensation Act as long as they arise out of your employment and occur in the course of your job.
