Las Vegas Workers' Compensation Lawyers
People who are injured at work must deal with the physical limitations of an injury. However, in many cases, the injury is so severe that the victim cannot perform at the same level, the same duties, or at all - temporarily or permanently. If you have been injured at work and suffered a temporary or permanent disabling injury, you may be eligible to receive workers' compensation benefits.
Harris & Harris Lawyers serves clients in Nevada, California and Utah. If you would like to discuss a work injury claim with a member of our firm, please contact our office to arrange a free and confidential consultation.
Recoverable benefits in a workers' comp (workman's comp) claim:
- Income benefits: Income benefits may be disbursed for temporary total disability (TTD), permanent total disability (PTD), or permanent partial disability (PPD) to compensate for lost wages incurred as a result of a workplace injury.
- Medical expenses: Worker's compensation covers medical benefits incurred because of the work-related injury - including hospital expenses, physical and vocational therapy, transportation to medical appointments, orthotics (or medical devices) and other expenses.
- Death benefits: When a loved one dies in a work-related accident, workers' compensation benefits provide compensation to surviving beneficiaries for lost wages, medical bills incurred before death and funeral expenses.
Many clients come to Harris & Harris Lawyers with the most serious of injuries, such as a spinal cord injury resulting from a construction site accident, or a crush injury or amputation that occurred on the job. When the extent of injuries is catastrophic in nature, workers' compensation is often inadequate to fully compensate our client. Our attorneys ensure our client recovers the full value of their case by reviewing all angles of the accident and determining all avenues of recovery. In certain instances, a third party liability claim, such as a product liability claim against a defective product manufacturer, may provide the necessary compensation our client needs.
In addition, if you suffered a permanent disability that renders you incapable of working for a year or more, you may be eligible for Social Security disability benefits.
