Am I entitled to benefits if I get injured at work?
 

Employees who suffer an injury at work may be eligible for workers’ compensation coverage which offers a host of benefits.

If your claim is accepted, you’re eligible for payments for your lost time for work (at 60% of your average weekly wage), payment of all reasonable and necessary medical bills which are related to your work injury, temporary alternative duty if you’re able to return to work but need light duty or part time employment in order to help transition back to full time, reinstatement to your old job if your employer has more than five employees, vocational rehabilitation services if you need retraining or job seeking assistance for reemployment and lastly, you may also be entitled to a permanent impairment award depending on the type of injury you suffer.

If your injury is serious, it is vital that you understand your rights now and in the future.  If you have been denied any of these benefits, you may need to help with the appeal.
