Idaho Falls Workers Compensation Attorney
Workers compensation laws are enforced under the Idaho Industrial Commission. Almost every worker has mandatory employer coverage under these state laws, including those in agriculture. Domestic worker coverage is voluntary, but if you are injured on any job due to negligence of another person, you have legal recourse to follow to receive compensation for your injuries and damages. Your Idaho Falls workers compensation attorney should be experienced in winning cases; ask them about their track record in this area of law.
Being hurt on the job can put family finances into a tailspin. Normal pay under the workers compensation system is 67% of wages for a full year, and then it drops to 60%. Anyone who knows how hard it is to live on regular wages can imagine the problems with only receiving 2/3 of their regular pay for a long period of time. This is why it is important to contact your Idaho Falls workers compensation attorney immediately if you are injured at work.
Other workers compensation benefits include funeral expenses if the death occurs within 4 years of the injury. Workers compensation will provide death benefits to a spouse for 500 weeks, and cover children up to age 18. Other dependents such as parents, grandparents, grandchildren or siblings may also be eligible to receive benefits due to your injury. Benefits can be partial or total, and may include time loss. There are possibilities to receive rehabilitation treatment and job retraining.
It also is necessary to immediately notify your employer of any injury or job related disease situation, and file a claim with the Idaho Industrial Commission for your workers compensation benefits. They receive over 45,000 reports of injury yearly, and approximately 36 deaths per year from on the job injuries. If you wait more than 60 days to claim workers compensation benefits, you will lose your opportunity to get them. This is another reason to contact your Idaho Falls workers compensation attorney immediately, so you stay on track through the process in a timely manner.
If your claims result in mediation or in a civil court lawsuit, your attorney will be ready to represent you with all the facts of your case. You may end up in court if someone else was responsible for your injury, either in part or in whole. The Idaho Industrial Commission cannot provide you with legal advice; you must have your own attorney.
