Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies as a work injury?

If your work causes an injury, illness or disease, you may be eligible to collect workers’ compensation. This does not cover intentional, self-inflicted injury or injury that occurs while under the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol.

Can I file for workers compensation without an attorney?

Yes, but unless you have only suffered an extremely minor injury and your employer’s insurance company is completely cooperating with you, you could quickly run into a difficult situation. Play it safe and smart—take advantage of the FREE Martin Law consultation and obtain solid legal advice from the beginning.

When must my employer start paying my workers’ compensation benefits?

You are entitled to employer-paid medical treatment and if your disability exceeds a seven-days period, wage-loss benefits. Wage-loss benefits must begin within 21 days of the employer’s notice of your injury, unless your claim is denied by the insurance company.

Can I sue my employer?

You cannot sue your employer because you got hurt on the job, unless they do not carry workers’ compensation insurance—and that would typically mean they are breaking the law. This is the reasoning behind workers’ compensation laws; they protect workers and employers.
