When it comes to getting compensation after an accident or injury, most people are conditioned to believe that they can only do so when it wasn’t their fault. After all, that’s true for most types of personal injury cases. And in many people’s minds, victims who cause their own injuries shouldn’t be eligible for compensation anyway!
However, workers’ compensation is different. It’s a no-fault form of compensation that’s paid to workers even if they are at fault for their own accidents and injuries. Employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance to protect themselves and their employees in the event of on-the-job injuries, but many injured workers believe they’re ineligible if they were fully or partially responsible for their own accidents.
At Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers, our Virginia workers’ compensation attorneys have helped many injured employees get full benefits for a variety of injuries. Don’t write off your opportunity for getting money to pay for your living expenses and medical bills after a workplace injury, even if you believe you contributed to it.
And remember—your employer has little say in the matter. Ultimately, it’s up to the workers’ compensation commission, and that’s where we come in. We know what they look for when reviewing and approving claims, and we know how to improve our clients’ odds of success and how to get them their money faster.
