Have You Suffered
An Injury In An Accident?You Deserve Justice!
Help Is Just A Phone Call Away!

We Fight, You Win, They Pay.

Most employers in the state are obligated to carry workers’ compensation insurance to protect the health and well-being of their employees in the event of an accident. The coverage provides benefits to injured workers without a determination of negligence necessary to succeed in a claim. However, some employers deny this crucial protection in an attempt to avoid paying a claim, often citing flimsy excuses or reasons not based on actual facts.

To seek the compensation that you’re entitled, allow a Ruston workers’ compensation lawyer to fight for your rights. A hard-working injury attorney can help you provide ample evidence of your injury in a fight for a successful claim.

What is the Purpose of Workers’ Compensation?

Louisiana Revised Statutes 23:1020.1 explains the workers’ compensation law within the state. Multiple reasons exist for adopting this type of system to protect workers, including:

  • Provide timely payment of disability benefits to injured workers
  • Pay for medical expenses injured workers are faced with
  • Assist injured employees in returning to the workforce in a safe and timely manner

The state adopted this process so workers can get the money they need to heal without the need to prove negligence through an injury lawsuit. When an employer attempts to avoid paying workers’ comp, it takes a dedicated Ruston attorney to push back against them and to help you seek the rights that you’re entitled.

What are Common Injuries that Come from Workplace Accidents?

Nearly any injury can occur at work, but some are much more likely and common than others. Each job carries unique hazards, especially when working in dangerous facilities such as factories, industrial sites, or other area with heavy machinery. Common claims in workers’ comp accidents are for:

  • Ladder, scaffolding, and staircase falls
  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Carpal tunnel and other repetitive motion injuries
  • Injuries from defective equipment
  • Lack of proper training on equipment

If you were injured at work, you’ve got the right to ask whether your claim should be covered by workers’ comp, and a skilled attorney in Ruston can answer any questions you have.

Potential Benefits that Come from Successful Claims

Depending on your needs after an accident, you might be entitled to a variety of financial damages for your injuries and actual costs. This can include long-term payment for disabilities or temporary payments that cover necessary costs, including:

  • Lost wages and indemnity benefits
  • Disability benefits for long-term injuries
  • Ongoing care costs
  • Funeral costs
  • Expenses for illnesses
  • Compensation for repetitive stress injuries

A local lawyer can help you fight for these types of damages and others to assist you in getting back on your feet and back to the job.

Stephen Babcock grew up in Louisiana and has worked here for decades. He was actually injured on the job once in Ruston.  We know this area and this area of law.

When an employer attempts to fight a valid claim, a worker injury action can help set the facts straight and get you the compensation you are owed.

With help from a Ruston workers’ compensation lawyer, you can rest assured that your rights are getting the care and attention they deserve. Contact us today to get started.
