Workers' Compensation
WERE YOU INJURED AT WORK?
Getting hurt on the job can result in lost wages, medical bills and other expenses. While almost any occupation can present the potential for a worker to suffer a serious personal injury, some industries are more dangerous than others.
Some of the most dangerous occupations include:
- Contractors
- Maritime Workers (Dock & Offshore)
- Manufacturing
- Hospitality
- Medical
- Transportation
- Farmers
- Commercial Fishermen
In an effort to provide adequate coverage for injured workers, there are a number of different medical and disability benefits that are usually paid in a bi-weekly format and generally equal two thirds of the average workers weekly wage. Many injured workers are also able to include back pay in a compensation claim for any payments that they may not have received.
The most common types of disability benefits payments are:
- Permanent Impairment Benefits
- Impairment Income Benefits
- Supplemental Benefits
- Permanent Total Benefits
- Death Benefits
