Spokane, Washington, Workers' Compensation Attorney
Do you need a lawyer to handle your workers' compensation claim? No, you can apply for these benefits yourself. That said, there are a lot of details and deadlines to be aware of and these can be easily missed if you don't know exactly what you're doing.
The bottom line: Why take that chance?
At Ronnie Rae & Associates, we help people in the Spokane area of eastern Washington to successfully apply for and obtain workman's comp benefits after an on-the-job injury. We know what the Washington State Department of Labor & Industry looks for in a workers' compensation claim. We know where the pitfalls are. We can help you avoid them.
Protect your workers' compensation benefits. The same system that protects workers who get injured on the job also gives employers certain rights and requires injured workers to follow specific steps in filing claims for benefits. If you have questions, talk to our lawyers about what your next steps should be.
What Benefits Are Available to Me?
If you are injured in the course of your employment, even if the accident or injury occurred while you were running an errand for your boss, your workers' compensation may include:
- One hundred percent of the medical expenses you incur because of the injury, including the costs of surgery, prescription medicines and rehabilitation services
- A portion of the wages you have lost as a result of your injuries
- Awards for permanent physical or psychological disabilities you've suffered as a result of the accident or injury
- The cost of vocational rehabilitation, job retraining or even college — if you can't return to your old job but are able to work in some other capacity
