As an on-the-job accident victim, you have legal right available to you. You can pursue compensation from your employer, particularly if your employer acted maliciously or negligently toward you.
However, you need some help identifying what your legal rights are and how to make use of them fully. Rather than handle your case on your own, you can hire counsel like an experienced Sheboygan workplace injury lawyer to assist you.
Protecting Your Job
Your employer cannot legally fire you just because you got hurt at work. However, if you fear retribution because you were injured or sought medical treatment for your injuries, you can hire an attorney to act as your advocate.
Your lawyer can ensure you still have a job to return to if you have plans on returning to it. You avoid the worry of being terminated without due cause and simply because you suffered an injury and got treatment for it.
Pursuing Insurance Claims
Your attorney can also keep in contact with the insurance company that should pay out your claims for you. You may receive the compensation you are owed in a matter of weeks, if not days. You avoid having to pay your own medical expenses from your injury.
