Common Workers' Comp Questions

Workers' compensation is a state-mandated insurance program that provides benefits to employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their job. Benefits typically include medical treatment, wage replacement, and disability benefits.
Filing deadlines (statutes of limitations) vary by state — typically 1 to 3 years from the date of injury. However, you should also report the injury to your employer within 30 days in most states. Missing deadlines can forfeit your rights.
No — it is illegal in all states to fire or retaliate against an employee for filing a workers' compensation claim. This is known as workers' comp retaliation. If you believe you've been retaliated against, you may have additional legal claims beyond your workers' comp case.
Not always — simple claims with clear injuries often resolve without an attorney. However, if your claim is denied, your injuries are serious, your employer is disputing facts, or you're offered a settlement that seems low, an attorney can significantly improve your outcome. Most workers' comp attorneys offer free consultations and only charge if you win.
Most workers' comp programs provide: (1) medical benefits — all reasonable and necessary medical treatment; (2) temporary disability — typically 60-70% of your average weekly wage while you can't work; (3) permanent disability if you have lasting impairment; (4) vocational rehabilitation to retrain for a new job; and (5) death benefits for surviving family members.
