Oklahoma Attorney Representing Victims of Workplace Injuries
Injured workers sometimes do not realize that they have a condition that warrants a workers' compensation claim. Workplace injuries are any injuries that have a direct connection to activities on the job. The injuries may be sudden or they may occur over time. Examples of conditions that may be cause for a workers' compensation claim include:
- Back and neck injuries
- Foot, knee and ankle injuries
- Hand injuries
- Repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome
- Occupational diseases, such as black lung disease
Filing a workers' compensation claim is not as simple as informing an employer of an injury. Often, workers' compensation insurers attempt to deny a claim or to postpone payout of benefits, which should include replacement income for lost wages, medical care and, in some cases, vocational retraining. Your employer may ask you to see a doctor of their own choosing.
A consultation with a workers' compensation lawyer before you file a claim, or after a claim has been denied, can help make you aware of your rights ― and how to protect those rights.
