Back injuries and repetitive motion injuries such as carpel tunnel syndrome are among the most common work-related injuries for which workers' compensation benefits are paid. Contact an attorney to determine whether you have a valid claim.
Indiana Workers' Compensation Attorneys
If you have been injured on the job, your first inclination may be to report the injury to your employer's HR department, complete claims forms and trust the "powers that be" to see to it that your workers' comp benefits are paid.
What you may not realize is that both your employer and the workers' compensation insurer have different priorities than you do. Your goal is to get better and to have your financial needs met: getting doctors' bills paid and replacing lost wages. Their goals include paying out as little as possible and closing your case as soon as possible.
