Workers\u2019 Compensation Lawyers Of Western New York <\/strong><\/h1>\n

Workers’ compensation is a\u00a0form of insurance for employees who are injured in the workplace. It pays medical expenses,\u00a0replaces lost wages and provides other compensation for the injured employee; in return, that employee agrees not to file suit or take other legal action\u00a0against the employer. The intent is to protect workers who\u00a0are\u00a0hurt on the job, as well as eliminate the need for litigation and the costs that go with it.<\/p>\n

Workers\u2019 compensation is meant\u00a0to streamline the process of dealing with work-related injuries, such as back injury,\u00a0traumatic brain injury, and\u00a0loss of limb or limb function, as well as chronic conditions like respiratory ailments,\u00a0carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive strain injuries. The system protects workers\u00a0with no-fault treatment for work injuries, and it protects employers from legal claims of negligence.<\/p>\n

The experienced \u00a0workers\u2019 compensation lawyers at Nicholas, Perot, Smith, Bernhardt & Zosh<\/strong> know, unfortunately, that the system can be abused. Employers and supervisors have been known to\u00a0prevent injured workers from filing a workers’ comp claim or they make\u00a0the process overly complicated.<\/p>\n
