A Workers' Compensation Lawyer Serves Oklahoma Clients
Employees in Oklahoma who suffer an occupation-related injury or illness can receive workers' compensation, which often helps to avoid lawsuits. The reason it helps avoid lawsuits is that workers' compensation both financially helps the employee and legally protects the employer.
If you are submitting a workers' compensation claim, you want to ensure your rights are protected. This is why it's important to hire a lawyer who is familiar with workers' compensation law in Oklahoma. The right lawyer can make all the difference in recovering the maximum benefits you deserve under the law if you have been injured at work. At the Law Offices of Jeff Martin, our workers' compensation attorneys have the resources and experience to help clients get what they deserve after a workplace injury.
Workers' compensation injuries are commonly:
- Traumatic injuries or reactions to substances or chemicals at the workplace (such as at construction sites)
- Back injuries
- Repetitive motion injuries, such as carpal tunnel
Workers' compensation provides funds for:
- Vocational training
- Medical bills
- Rehabilitation
- Lost wages
- Death benefits, such as funeral expenses, if the situation ended in the death of the employee
- Mental and emotional harm
Workers can obtain compensation once their injury makes them unable to earn full wages for three consecutive days or their injury requires medical attention. The amount of compensation is roughly 75% of their earnings per week.
If You Are Unable to Obtain Workers' Compensation, You May Be Eligible for Social Security Disability
If you are unable to work because of a disability or injury, our firm also can help you obtain benefits through the Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability programs.
