Workers’ Compensation Claims –Accidents and Injuries on the Job

William C. Skye represents workers who have been injured on the job and at their place of work. Injured workers are entitled to workers' compensation benefits, even if they have only been employed for one day. Employees may also receive workers' compensation benefits for a wide range of injuries, including traumatic events (such as neck and back injuries and broken bones) that often occur as the result of an accident, and for repetitive job duty injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome (caused by overuse of a computer keyboard) that arise over longer periods of times. Employees may also receive workers' comp. benefits for occupational diseases resulting from exposure to asbestos or toxic chemicals; often, these conditions occur in high risk professions.

Workers' compensation benefits are generally limited to disability/wage loss benefits and payment for injury-related medical care. Generally, injured workers cannot generally sue their employers for pain and suffering. Although, they may potentially recover money for pain and suffering if a party other than their employer was responsible for any negligence that caused the injuries, such as a work-related car accident where the other driver is at fault. Thus, an injured employee may be able to pursue a claim for workers' compensation benefits against the employer and a separate claim against the negligence of a third party who caused the worker's injury.

Skye has the background, experience and ability to handle both your workers' compensation claim and your third party claim at the same time.
