Workplace Injury Claims by Injury Type
How an injury is proved and valued depends on what it is. Catastrophic injuries need life care planning and cannot responsibly settle before maximum medical improvement; occupational diseases turn on exposure records and the discovery rule; psychiatric injuries need specialist evidence. Workers' compensation pays medical costs and partial wages, never pain and suffering.
Choose the injury. Each guide explains how that injury is evidenced, what a claim can recover, and when a claim against someone other than the employer may be available.
