Are You Covered By Workers’ Comp?

As an employee, you may be covered by workers’ compensation insurance if you get injured while working. This insurance specifically covers accidents that happen on the job so that employees can recover swiftly without worrying about the financial burden. The insurance usually covers medical bills, out-of-pocket expenses, extra care expenses, funeral costs and lost wages. Despite these great advantages, many people do not know they have workers’ compensation. Being injured at work can be complex – contact one of our Alexandra VA workers compensation lawyers today.

Here’s how to find out if you’re covered:

Ask Your Employer

The most effective method for finding out if you have coverage is from your employer. After all, your employer is responsible for taking out this insurance for their employees. Workers’ compensation is to the employer’s benefit as well as the employee’s because it protects the employer from lawsuits. Your employer should be able to tell you if you are covered.  

Check Your Benefits

Once you discover you have coverage, contact the insurance agency to learn about the full scope of your benefits. You can ask your employer, too, but they may not have all the information you need. Contacting the source of the insurance can ensure you understand what is covered and what to do in the case of an injury. It’s much better to be prepared for something that never happens than to be caught off guard in a time of need.

Contact Your Department of Labor

Finally, you can talk to your state’s department of labor to discover laws regarding workers’ compensation. This may be an important step if your employer does not have coverage. You can find out what to do if you get injured. It is also an excellent way to check that your employer is following the law, as most states have laws for workers’ compensation. Your state may legally require an employer to have insurance, or it may be optional. However, knowing this can help you determine if your employer is acting illegally by neglecting to take out a policy.

Contact a Lawyer

If you have been injured and you are still confused about coverage, contact one of our Alexandria VA workers compensation lawyers. While the claims process is meant to help employees in need, it can also neglect them through acts of negligence on the part of the employer or insurance. You may need a lawyer if your employer refuses to acknowledge your injury or if insurance will not pay you. Reach out to Alexandria VA workers compensation lawyers today to discover what can be done and if there are other options for compensation.

My experience with Cohen &Cohen was beyond my expectations. Jill did an amazing job with negotiating on my behalf and got me way more money than I anticipated. Thank you for having my back.

To say that I am happy with the outcome of my case is the understatement of the century! Jill Stanley is a BEAST at what she does. That is the only way to explain it. She takes no prisoners. She and her team are very skilled and knowledgeable. I am so happy I trusted them to do their job and rolled with Jill's suggestions. I would choose Jill again 100 times. She settled my case for more than I imagined I would receive. I was literally in tears. It is the best feeling to know my pain isn't for naught. Wayne Cohen and Kristopher Yorke were nothing short of amazing. They have the patience of saints. I'm 100% certain that I got on their last nerves with my frustration and tears at every other call I had with them. Being in pain and wanting to just be able to heal was all I could focus on, but they helped me realize that I also had to focus on the bigger picture (the case) so I could put this piece behind me. As a high-strung individual with anxiety, it was hard for me to not worry and let them do their jobs, but they reassured me all of the time that they had this. To be injured before the start of the pandemic and have to receive regular, weekly treatment while others are able to stay home is anxiety inducing. I was in pain, I was anxious, and I was just hoping it all worked out. It more than worked out. I hope Jill, Siri, and Kris know how much their hard work and "hanging in there" meant to me. I am eternally grateful. I can't recommend you all enough. If you choose this law firm, you won't be sorry!
