General
- I got hurt at work, but my employer will not pay my medical bills and has not paid me any compensation. What can I do and what are my rights?
- I got hurt at work, but it was just an accident. It was nobody's fault. Am I still entitled to workers compensation?
- I got hurt at work, but my claim has been denied because my employer claims that my injury did not fit the definition of an ‘injury by accident'. What does that mean?
- I got hurt at work, but my employer says that he did not carry any Workers Compensation Insurance at the time of my injury. Am I out of luck?
- I am getting paid a weekly check after I got hurt at work, but it is not the right amount, and should be higher. Is there anything I can do?
- My compensation checks are coming late. What are my rights and what can I do about that?
- I sustained an injury on-the-job, but after that, I was fired. Can I still get workers compensation?
- I do not like the doctor that the workers compensation carrier has referred me to. Can I change doctors and go to a physician of my choice?
- The workers compensation doctor has released me to return to full duty; however, I am still in a lot of pain, and I do not feel that I'll be able to do my job. What options do I have?
- The workers compensation doctor has released me to light duty work, but I am still in a lot of pain, and I am not sure I will be able to do my job. Am I still entitled to my workers compensation checks if I refuse to go to work?
- The workers compensation doctor has released me to light duty work, but my employer does not have any light duty work available. Am I still entitled to my workers compensation checks?
- The workers compensation doctor has released me to return to work with restrictions. Now my employer has created a job for me so I can sit at a desk and come back to work. Are they allowed to do that?
- The workers compensation doctor has released me to return to work, but told me I can never return to my old job because of my physical restrictions. I am worried about how I'll get a new job. Am I entitled to keep getting my workers compensation checks while I look for a new job?
- The workers compensation doctor says that I should have surgery, but I am frightened and not sure if I should go forward? If I refuse to have the surgery, do I lose my compensation?
- The workers compensation doctor says that I should have surgery, but my employer utilized some type of managed care organization, and their doctor, who has never seen me, wrote a letter and recommended that the workers compensation carrier not pay for the surgery. I need to get this surgery. What am I supposed to do now?
- I got hurt on the job, and my employer is paying my medical bills for my injuries and is paying my workers compensation. Do I still need an attorney?
- How much will it cost me to hire a lawyer on my workers compensation case?
- I am in this country illegally, but I got hurt on the job. Am I still entitled to workers compensation benefits?
- I have been released by the workers compensation doctor, and I am back to work full time. I had a fairly serious injury, and my employer paid me for my medical bills and paid my checks while I was out of work. Is that all I am going to be entitled to?
- What is a permanency rating and why is it important?
- I have been released by the workers compensation doctor, and they gave me a rating. They also told me I cannot go back to my job, because of my physical restrictions. Are you telling me that all I am entitled to is the lousy few weeks of payment from my impairment rating?

- I am getting checks every week and my employer is paying my bills. What happens to my claim if I die right now?
