Workers' Compensation
You have a right to claim workers' compensation benefits if you are injured at work, no matter who is at fault. This can be a life-changing event for you and your family, particularly in circumstances where your employer or the insurance company denies your claim or attempts to reduce the amount you are owed. Thankfully, Louisiana has laws in place to protect workers of this state.
If you were injured or developed an illness while employed in Louisiana, you may qualify for the following:
π A portion of your lost wages
π Medical expenses
π Retraining costs
π Compensation for permanent injuries
Dependent family members may also be eligible for monetary compensation if the injury results in death.
