Representation for Injured Workers
In Louisiana, employers are required to provide worker's comp insurance to their employees. However, even though an employee is eligible for worker's compensation, his or her claim can be disputed, along with the amount of benefits to be paid. Therefore, it is extremely important to have a lawyer on your side who understands the federal worker's compensation system as well as the Louisiana court and legal system.
At the law firm of Ted Williams, we help people who have been injured at work by assisting them with:
- Filing a claim
- Appealing a denied claim
We want our clients to be aware of some important information in the event they suffer a workplace injury.
- Seek medical attention as soon as you are injured on the job
- Make sure your condition is documented
- Make sure you receive and retain all documentation of your injury
- You may want to ask your physician for a written statement regarding your ability to work (be sure that all limitations and restrictions are explicitly stated).
The Lousiana statue regarding medical examinations after work-related injuries can be found here. Also, keep in mind that if your injury keeps you out of work for a year or more you may be eligible for social security disability.
Please note: If you have been injured while working on board a ship or vessel, you may be covered under the Jones Act or The Longshore Act. See our maritime workers page for more information.
